Desktop Summit: Copyright assignments

Posted Aug 11, 2011 20:37 UTC (Thu) by ttonino (guest, #4073) Parent article: Desktop Summit: Copyright assignments What I am worried most about with assignment is the following case : I assign copyrights to company A. Company B comes along and sues A, and wins. A goes bankrupt and evil B gets the copyright. This could not happen if A does not have the copyright on all code, as B cannot take what A does not own.
