This is what legally makes the Free Software -Foundation the copyright holder so that we can register the copyright -on the new version. I'm assuming that you wrote these changes -yourself; if other people wrote parts, we may need papers from them. - -If you are employed to do programming (even at a university), or have -made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns programs -you write, then you and we need a signed piece of paper from your -employer disclaiming rights to the program. - -The disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general manager -of the company. If you can't get at them, anyone else authorized to -license software produced there will do. Here is a sample wording: - - Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright interest - in the changes and enhancements made by Hugh Heffner to the program - "libstdc++", also including any future revisions of these changes and - enhancements. - - Digital Stimulation Corporation affirms that it has no other - intellectual property interest that would undermine this release, or - the use of the Program, and will do nothing to undermine it in the - future. - - , 1 April 1987 - Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp. - -(If your employer says they do have an intellectual property claim -that could conflict with the use of the program, then please put me in -touch with a suitable representative of the company, so that we can -negotiate what to do about it.) - -IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what -instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample -disclaimer above, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your -specific case. Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer -without any fuss.
