It almost sounds like you're assuming that people will be "encouraging" you to do otherwise than you would choose of your own free will. Rather than "letting life do it to me", how about getting clear on what _you_ want, making suggestions, and discussing on the list? If the answers must always come from on high, I suspect you shall be forever somewhat disappointed in what_ever_ happens. Tom wants this to be a GNU project. This has consequences - the primary one being that copyright is assigned to the FSF (for "GNU arch proper"). You can find the FSF's copyright assignment forms on their website. It's not like they hide this stuff :) You can then make an assessment of what you will and won't contribute to _GNU_ arch. I'm sure you can think of various options here that you might choose to follow... A rebelliousness in your words I feel. Which is fine of course, if that's the kind of conversations you want to have here. What sort of community do you want? Who do you plan to be in this community? Or will it forever depend on what others say, what others do and what others decide? _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list Gnu-arch-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
