[Savannah-hackers] copyright status of savannah_mailman cgi script

[Joel N. Weber II]

Perhaps I'm missing something somewhere, but I think something is
being handled inadaquately in handling copyright assignments.

There is a script at
fencepost:/usr/local/src/savannah_mailman/Mailman_Cgi/sfverify.py that
has the copyright notice that I've copied to the end of this message.
The thing I find significant is that it claims that the FSF is the
copyright holder.

fencepost:/usr/local/src/savannah_mailman/README says to contact
address@hidden about this, which suggests to me that he probably wrote the
script (though that isn't really entirely clear).

I don't see any mention of gmorin in /gd/gnuorg/copyright.list.

So, if gmorin actually wrote the script, and the copyright is actually
owned by the FSF, I don't understand why copyright.list doesn't
mention this.
