Well, the problem is that as a tester/contributor my contributions to
the project is direct but to the code is indirect. I never wrote a
line of code in LS and don't want anyone to think I did. However I
would strongly suggest that LS wouldn't have made nearly the progress
is did make in the time it did without all the work I did looking for
inconsistencies in how GigaStudio handled a specific gig file vs how
LS did. My contribution was to push them to make a product that
professional users of GSt would consider using. However, I wrote no
code and my name appears nowhere in any file, as is probably
appropriate.
The GPL doesn't protect my
'interests' as a tester/contributor
bucause my name isn't listed in the code header.
This is wrong. If you got contributions to the code base you are also
a copyright holder. The law protects you here. This means they cannot
change the license of the particular files you contributed to, without
your consent or without removing your contributions. This is protected
by law.
I'm not personally sure what the FSF could
really do for us on this
subject but I'd be interested in knowing.
It's not up to the FSF, as long as they don't hold the copyright to
the work.
