5* Copyright policy
|

|
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
|

|
|
||||||
|
The developers of libssh have a policy of asking for contributions to be made
|
||||||
|
under the personal copyright of the contributor, instead of a corporate
|
||||||
|
copyright.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are some reasons for the establishment of this policy:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Individual copyrights make copyright registration in the US a simpler
|
||||||
|
process.
|
||||||
|
* If libssh is copyrighted by individuals rather than corporations,
|
||||||
|
decisions regarding enforcement and protection of copyright will, more
|
||||||
|
likely, be made in the interests of the project, and not in the interests
|
||||||
|
of any corporation’s shareholders.
|
||||||
|
* If we ever need to relicense a portion of the code contacting individuals
|
||||||
|
for permission to do so is much easier than contacting a company.
