I would like to make sure the FSF legal department doesn't see any holes in the plan, but I'm certainly okay as going on record as being in favor of the plan. I recall how long it took for me to get permission to sign assignment papers from my previous employer, for work I was doing in my spare time, and being able to use the DCO instead would have made my efforts easier at that time. (My current employer already has a blanket copyright assignment on file for all employees, but not everyone has a company that willing to promote open source involvement.) -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
