It isn't at all how I wrote things.

What I wrote is that I feel like the currently situation makes it very
blurry for one to tell who is the copyright holder(s). I'm seeking a way
to fix this. It looks like its another failed attempt, as some
(including you) are opposed to do any of the things I proposed, and
nobody has a better solution (and I don't see how writing to the legal
list will change anything). I suppose I can only give-up.
