I am sorry, it appears that I have overlooked this request. We do have an assignment for Michael, but his disclaimer on file is for Schenley Park Research, Inc. If he is employed to do programming at Carnegie Mellon now, then we should get an updated disclaimer. I have included a copy of our disclaimer form at the bottom of this email. Just print it out, have it sign, and send us a scanned copy. It shouldn't be too much of an issue getting the disclaimer, I hope, as Carnegie Mellon has signed several in recent years. > > > -- Sincerely, Donald R. Robertson, III, J.D. Assignment Administrator Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor Boston, MA 02110 Phone +1-617-542-5942 Fax +1-617-542-2652 --- If you are employed to do programming (even at a university), or have made an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns programs you write, then you and we need a signed piece of paper from your employer disclaiming rights to the program. Here is a disclaimer your employer can sign to cover your future changes to GNU software, as well as your past changes. The disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general manager of the company. If you can't get at them, anyone else authorized to issue licenses for software produced there will do. Much of this disclaimer consists of a description of which kinds of work it applies to. This description is just a suggestion--your employer can replace it with any description that says clearly which kinds of work they want to disclaim and which kinds they don't. Paragraph (b) is optional; they can delete it if they wish. If your employer says they do have a claim that could conflict with the use of the program, then please put us in touch with a suitable representative of the company, so that we can negotiate what to do about it. Send a note about the issue to the company representative and to assign@gnu.org. IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample disclaimer below, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your specific case. Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer without any fuss. If you make your request less specific, you may cloud the issue and cause a long and unnecessary delay. Please keep a copy of the employer's signed disclaimer, and snail the original to us at Attn: Assignment Administrator Free Software foundation 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor Boston, MA 02110 EMPLOYER DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS We agree that software and other authored works of the 'Released Category' (defined below), made by our employee/consultant, _______________________, prior to the date of this document, and for _____ years thereafter, are freely assignable by said employee/consultant to Free Software Foundation (FSF) for distribution and sharing under its free software policies.
