too much power and control is being entrusted to the Foundation.
Maybe! But there are advantages for all of us to contribute our
copyrights to the foundation. It's too late now, of course, but all
of our licensing/relicensing questions would be a lot easier to deal
with if the foundation owned all the copyrights.
The FSF requires an assignment of copyrights to them for any official
FSF projects. This policy would not work for us -- it's too late, and
would interfere with the wiki model. But if people voluntarily do it,
I think it's a good idea.
