That's a great point--it's not entirely clear to me that there's any particular benefit to the community to having the output of foundation staff treated as work-for-hire. On the other hand, we represent a small enough percentage of the ATCs that it's probably not worth the effort to put to a vote either. But you're right... it does have the potential to create some confusion for other contributors who see that copyright in a file and assume something akin to an FSF-style assignment. -- Jeremy Stanley
