     I'd bet @sabdfl *just* said something & @kaz is responding in this photo. Only thing that explains my & #mmeeks' faces: http://ur1.ca/4vzr6

     @bkuhn Did anyone ask @sabdfl why he actually needs to accumulate copyright?

     @webmink that's the one question, or why Red Hat didn't go under, when we don't collect copyright assignments?

     @mcepl I am very interested indeed if anyone has seen an actual explanation anywhere from @sabdfl - he said he'd write one.

     @webmink Can't dual license without it.

     @erez And is that an essential part of his business model? I can speculate too, I want his explanation :-)

     @webmink, #mmeeks did, and he dodged the question, like he usually does. You see, Simon, he's a gardener & he models this after his garden…

     @webmink His reasoning seems to be "Because we do all the hard work, we should get all the benefits of copyright"

     @erez I found that answered nothing for me when I first read it and that's still true today.

     @webmink Yes, not much substance there, but that's his rationale for why he *should* get it, not what he'll do with it, though
