I was thinking (more) about your response. It opens two problems.
1. "Future Assignment" as an annexation policy rather than as a defence.
2. Artificial polarization (of people) by having "assigned" or
"unassigned" contributors . IMO, there should only be "assigned
work" and "unassigned work" (or "acquired" and "unacquired" work).
It's the work that is polarized and not the people.
I am taking "Developer's initiative" to report "work convered by this
contract" and it seems like my act is viewed as a taboo. See Item 2 of
the assignment contract which says:
| 2. Developer will report occasionally, on Developer’s initiative and
| whenever requested by FSF, the changes and/ or enhancements which are
| covered by this contract, and (to the extent known to Developer) any
| outstanding rights, or claims of rights, of any person, that might be
| adverse to the rights of Developer or FSF or to the purpose of this
| contract.
I wish that FSF being a non-commercial entity be forthcoming with
information on how I can withhold or terminate an assignment. For
example, my Cable TV provider advertizes how I can subscribe via SMS to
a paid movie channel. But he never discloses (readily) how I can
un-subscribe from the subscribed channels.
Just my 2 cents.
