Re: [Gomp-discuss] Copyright Assignment

[Lars Segerlund]

 In some respect I agree with you on this one, but then again often 
it's just some individuals who are *-holes :-) ...

 I think things are progressing good on this list ? Everyone here is 
nice , ( exept me ;-) ).

 And I think when it all comes down to it it's about whether we can 
produce the code or not, if we get the code running all is well, and 
other obstacles can be overcome.

 So I'm all for the technical discussion and patches approach.

 can't we put the lib on savannah for now ?

 ( ps. please stay ! )
