Re: [gnugo-devel] Interested in GNU GO development

[David G Doshay]

Harry is a student at UC Santa Cruz and has talked to the professor
that works with me and 2 other graduate students on my foundation's
cluster project.

If any of you have ideas that he might work on that would be worth
the effort to develop for a cluster we could make the cluster available
to him for that work.  Speaking for the foundation, I am content to
have the copyright going to FSF as is normal, but I think it would be
up to UC in this case. Intellectual property rights are not a simple
thing at UC.


Cheers,
David
