Eventually that was fixed, but the papers have the name in an order which is not proper for Russian law. Moved on with it. But hasn't had any answer during august and september. And then he got conscribed and so we won't have any news from him until around november 2022. +* Luca Dariz (case #1803259): process ongoing, sent form on 2022 Feb 1st, got answer on Feb 11th, pending completion. +* Various main contributors consider copyright assignment an unnecessary burden, the Hurd being considered as never-to-be-key-software. |
