[Xerte-dev] Re: Identifying Committers

I'm not a lawyer either... it sounds OK to me, there are many examples where a feature exists because a user requested something, it doesn't make that feature theirs, but in most cases no money has changed hands. Other than the money that Warwick pay you for hosting, did any other money change hands for this?

I wouldn't have thought so. But I'm not a lawyer.


They [Warwick] raised an issue with the quality of video playback within their LOs, and upon investigation our best fix was to transcode the videos into html5 friendly formats -- hence the patch.

We then merged that into XOT.

Warwick paid us to resolve issues with their installation.


I'd expect that the copyright of the code rests with Pale Purple - given there is/was no contract in place between Pale Purple and Warwick assigning copyright to Warwick.
