Why copyright assignment?
=========================
Will Kahn-Greene on "Why copyright assignment?":
GNU MediaGoblin is a GNU project with the copyrights held by the
FSF. Like other GNU projects, we require copyright assignment to
the FSF which gives the FSF the legal ability to defend the
AGPL-covered status of the software and distribute it.
This is important to us because it guarantees that this software
we're working so hard on will be available to everyone and will
survive us. As long as someone is interested in using it and/or
working on it, it will live on.
