hi all,

how does   dual license sound? (ugh..i hate these license thingys)...

as for the copyright - yes it can (and will) be reassigned...dont worry,
FM is not out to own everyones copyright, and nor am I. The default is
that whoever creates a chapter gets the copyright. if u like i can make
all copyright for the manual to the 'TOS Authors' or some
such...whatever you like, just let me know

adam
