gcc — Proposed
Copyright assignment for Jackey Chen's contribution
Request for Jackey Chen to complete and return FSF copyright assignment forms for their GCC contribution.
This is a formal request from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) to Jackey Chen regarding their contribution to GCC. It requires Chen to complete and sign a copyright assignment form, and if employed, an employer disclaimer, to legitimize the contribution under FSF’s licensing policies. The FSF also inquires about permission to publicize the contribution.
