- copyright assignment form filled out.
-
- If you've developed some addition or patch to GDB that you
- would like to contribute, you should fill out a copyright
- assignment form and send it in to the FSF. We are unable to
- use code from you until this is on-file at the FSF, so get
- that paperwork in! This form covers one batch of changes.
- Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/assignment-instructions.html
-
- If you think you're going to be doing continuing work on GDB, it
- would be easier to use a different form, which arranges to
- assign the copyright for all your future changes to GDB. It is
- called assign.future. Please note that if you switch
- employers, the new employer will need to fill out the
- disclaim.future form; there is no need to fill out the
- assign.future form again.
- Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/assign.future
- Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/disclaim.future
-
- There are several other forms you can fill out for different
- circumstances (e.g. to contribute an entirely new program, to
- contribute significant changes to a manual, etc.)
- Ref: http://gcc.gnu.org/fsf-forms/copyrights.html
-
- Small changes can be accepted without a copyright assignment
- form on file.
-
- This is pretty confusing! If you are unsure of what is
- necessary, just ask the GDB mailing list and we'll figure out
- what is best for you.
-
- Note: Many of these forms have a place for "name of
- program". Insert the name of one program in that place -- in
- this case, "GDB".
