"derStandard.at: Coming back to the question of copyright assignment: Isn't Novell doing the same with some of its own projects like Mono?
Meeks: That's a really good question. If you look at Mono, it's true that Novell has a stated company policy of requiring copyright assignment for the core - the JIT - which is some tiny proportion of the code, less than 15 percent (...) So if you want to contribute to Mono, you can contribute in 80+ percent of the project without assigning rights to anyone. We'd love that to be the case with OpenOffice.org, honestly."
