Thanks for the clarification.  I still think it is a bad idea that
LibreMiami holds the Copyright instead of people who effectively did the
work.  That’s my point of view.

If I read correctly, this commit a2ece4 does not lead to a Copyright
assignment.  So it’s fine.  Even, I find really cool that 6 people
co-authored a patch during a meetup.

This is really cool!  Great initiative.  Maybe I will show up. :-)

My point is just about the holder of the Copyright.  Concretely, to be
correct legally speaking, IIUC, the co-authors (of the 2 commits and
this patch) signed a copyright transfer to the LibreMiami entity.
Otherwise, the copyright does not belong to LibreMiami.


Cheers,
simon
