Unfortunately we need more than that: we need a signed piece of paper
disclaiming copyright.
This is something I stumbled over some month ago when I studied the
submission rules:
I am now a lawyer, but as far as I know in my country (germany) it is
not possible to decline copyright (called Urheberrecht here - it's not
exactly the same but close). You can give away the usage-rights to your
code at will and for free (by putting your code into public domain for
example), but declining "Urheberrecht" is not possible.
How does the FSF deals with this issue?
