+The way to assign copyright to the Foundation is to sign an assignment
+contract.  This is what legally makes the FSF the copyright holder so
+that we can register the copyright on the new version.
+I'm assuming that you wrote these changes yourself;
+if other people wrote parts, we may need papers from them.
+
+If you are employed to do writing (even at a university), or have
+made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns text
+you write, then you and we need a signed piece of paper from your
+employer disclaiming rights to your changes.
+
+The disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general manager
+of the company.  If you can't get at them, anyone else authorized to
+license manuals produced there will do.  Here is a sample wording:
+
+  Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright
+  interest in the changes and enhancements made by Hugh Heffner to the
+  manual "The Seduction Manual", also including any future revisions
+  of these changes and enhancements.  We do not consider them as a work
+  made for hire for us.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1987
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp.
+
+IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what
+instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample
+disclaimer above, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your
+specific case.  Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer
+without any fuss.  If you make your request less specific, you may
+open Pandora's box and cause a long and unnecessary delay.

+
+   For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which I acknowledge, I,
+NAME OF PERSON, hereby transfer to the Free Software Foundation, Inc. (the
+"Foundation") my entire right, title, and interest (including all rights
+under copyright) in my changes and enhancements to the manual "NAME OF
+MANUAL", subject to the conditions below.  These changes and enhancements
+are herein called the "Work".  The work hereby assigned shall also include
+any future revisions of these changes and enhancements hereafter made by me.
+
+   Upon thirty days' prior written notice, the Foundation agrees to
+grant me non-exclusive rights to use the Work (i.e. my changes and
+enhancements, not the manual which I enhanced) as I see fit; (and the
+Foundation's rights shall otherwise continue unchanged).
+
+   For the purposes of this contract, a work "based on the Work" means
+any work that in whole or in part incorporates or is derived from all or
+part of the Work.
+
+   The Foundation promises that all distribution of the Work, or of any
+work "based on the Work", that takes place under the control of the
+Foundation or its assignees, shall be on terms that explicitly and
+perpetually permit anyone possessing a copy of the work to which the terms
+apply, and possessing accurate notice of these terms, to redistribute
+copies of the work to anyone on the same terms.  These terms shall not
+restrict which members of the public copies may be distributed to.  These
+terms shall not require a member of the public to pay any royalty to the
+Foundation or to anyone else for any permitted use of the work they apply
+to, or to communicate with the Foundation or its agents in any way either
+when redistribution is performed or on any other occasion.
+
+   The Foundation promises to give or send me, upon reasonable prior notice
+and payment of a fee no more than twenty times the cost of the necessary
+materials and postage, a copy of any or all of the works "based on the
+Work" that it offers to the public or that it has offered within the
+past six months, or that it distributed for the first time within the past
+six months.  My request shall detail whether I wish to receive all

+cost and therefore the fee.
+
+   I hereby represent and warrant that I am the sole copyright holder for the
+Work and that I have the right and power to enter into this contract.  I
+hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Foundation, its officers, employees,
+and agents against any and all claims, actions or damages (including

+Legal Issues about Contributing Code to GNU	last updated 8 Feb 2009
+
+Project GNU has to be careful to obey copyright laws, even though
+these laws are wrong when they stop people from sharing generally
+useful published information such as software, because we are in the
+public eye.  We also use copyright to defend users' freedom, by means
+of copyleft (though this does not excuse copyright law for helping
+to make software proprietary).
+
+This means that if you want to contribute software to GNU, you have to
+do something to give us legal permission to use it.  There are three
+ways this can be done:
+
+* Assign the copyright to the Free Software Foundation.
+This allows the FSF to act to stop violations of the GPL.
+
+* Keep the copyright and release the program yourself under the GNU
+GPL.  (This alternative too impractical for contributions to a
+preexisting FSF-copyrighted GNU program.)
+
+* Put the code in the public domain.  Then there is nothing to stop
+hoarding of modified versions, but we can still use the program in GNU.
+
+Most of these alternatives require a signed piece of paper to make it
+happen.
+
+* Assigning copyright.
+
+Assigning the copyright means signing a contract that makes the Free
+Software Foundation the "owner" of the program according to the law.
+As the copyright holder, the Foundation can sue anyone who tries to
+distribute the program as a proprietary product.  We are willing to
+keep your name on the program as the author for as long as the program
+remains recognizably distinct.  ("Owner" is in quotes to show that we
+don't really believe in this kind of ownership.)
+
+The assignment contract commits the foundation to setting distribution
+terms that permit free redistribution.
+
+Often we don't want to do the work of starting to distribute a program
+right away.  There are many things which we will need in order to have
+a complete system but which aren't really useful until the rest of the
+system is done.  But signing the assignment does not stop you from
+distributing the program yourself--as long as you do so under the GNU
+terms.  You don't have to wait for us to start distributing.  You can
+start distributing as soon as you attach our standard copyleft to the
+files.  (Ask for our advice on how to do this.)
+
+The assignment contract we normally use has a clause that permits you
+to use your code in proprietary programs, on 30 days' notice.  (The 30
+days' notice is there because, through a legal technicality, it would
+improve our position in a suit against a hoarder.)  Although we
+believe that proprietary software is wrong, we include this clause
+because it would serve no purpose to ask you to promise not to do it.
+You're giving us a gift in the first place.
+
+You don't need to invoke this clause in order to distribute copies as
+free software under the GNU GPL, since everyone is allowed to do that.
+
+* Releasing it yourself.
+
+You can release a program yourself under copyleft distribution terms
+such as the GNU GPL.  (In order to accept the program as GNU software,
+we would have to be happy with your choice of terms.)  This does not
+require a contract between you and the FSF, but we would appreciate
+having a signed piece of paper to confirm your decision.
+
+If someone violates your terms--for example, if someone gets a copy
+from us, and uses it as a basis for a proprietary product in violation
+of the terms--we cannot sue him.  You would have to sue, or he gets
+away with it.
+
+* Public domain.
+
+If you put the program in the public domain, we prefer to have a signed
+piece of paper--a disclaimer of rights--from you confirming this.  If the
+program is not very important, we can do without one; the worst that could
+happen is that we might some day be forced to stop using it.
+
+The law says that anyone can copyright a modified version of the public
+domain work.  (This doesn't restrict the original, which remains in the
+public domain; only the changes are copyrighted.)  If we make extensive
+changes, we will probably do this and add our usual copyleft.  If we make
+small changes, we will leave the version we distribute in the public
+domain.
+
+* What about your employer?
+
+If you are employed to do programming, or have made an agreement with your
+employer that says it owns programs you write, we need a signed piece of
+paper from your employer disclaiming rights to the program.  It should be
+signed by a vice president or general manager of the company.  If you
+can't get at them, it is almost as good to find someone who signs licenses
+for software that is purchased.  Here is a sample wording:
+
+  Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright interest
+  in the program "seduce.el" (a program to direct assemblers to make passes
+  at compilers under GNU Emacs) written by Hugh Heffner.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1987
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp.
+
+The description of what the program does is just to make it clearer
+what the disclaimer covers.
+
+If what you did was change an existing program, it should say this:
+
+  ...in the changes and enhancements made by Hugh Heffner to the
+  program "seduce.el".
+
+* Did anyone else contribute?
+
+If someone else contributed more than a few lines here or there to the
+program, then that person too is an author, and that person too needs to
+sign papers just as you do.  So may that person's employer.  However, if
+his contribution is just a fraction of the whole work, it is satisfactory
+if he disclaims his own rights, even if you are assigning yours.  (If just
+the minor contributors' work goes in the public domain, that doesn't leave
+much of a loophole for hoarders.)
+
+If you incorporated packages which you found floating around as "public
+domain", we might still want to track down their authors, to get
+disclaimers to reassure us that they really are in the public domain.  So
+keep track of what these packages are and who wrote them.
+
+* A reminder:
+
+In working on a project for GNU, DO NOT study and follow any Unix
+sources or other non-free software that might have any bearing on the
+project.  Don't refer to them at all, unless you are forced to for
+non-GNU reasons.
+
+It is not considered a serious problem if you have read Unix sources
+or other non-free source code in the past for other purposes, provided
+you don't copy anything in particular from them.  However, referring
+to them while you do the work could cause us legal problems later.

+I'd like to ask you to sign a disclaimer for your changes,
+thus putting them in the public domain.  (For small to medium changes
+such as this, that is just as good for us as assigning copyright.)
+I'm assuming that you wrote these changes yourself;
+if other people wrote parts, we may need papers from them.
+
+    I, <name of person>, hereby disclaim all copyright interest in my
+    changes and enhancements to the manual <manual>.
+
+    I affirm that I have no other intellectual property interest that
+    would undermine this release.  I represent that these changes and
+    enhancements are my own and not a copy of someone else's work.
+
+    <signature and date>
+
+*Don't forget to include the date.*
+Spell out the month name--don't use a number for the month.  Dates
+using a number for the month are ambiguous; 2/8/95 means one thing in
+the US and another in Europe.
+
+If your job includes writing manuals (even at a university), or have
+made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns manuals
+you write, then we also need a signed disclaimer from your employer or
+school.
+
+This disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general
+manager of the company.  If you can't get at them, anyone else
+authorized to license a manual produced there will do.  Here is a
+sample wording:
+
+  Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright
+  interest in the changes and enhancements made by Hugh Heffner to the
+  manual "The Seduction Manual".  We do not consider them as a work
+  made for hire for us.
+
+  Digital Stimulation Corporation affirms that it has no other
+  intellectual property interest that would undermine this release.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1987
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp.
+
+If your employer says they do have an intellectual property claim that
+could conflict with releasing your changes, then please put me in
+touch with a suitable representative of the company, so that we can
+negotiate what to do about it.
+
+IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what
+instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample
+disclaimer above, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your
+specific case.  Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer
+without any fuss.  If you make your request less specific, you may
+open Pandora's box and cause a long and unnecessary delay.
+
