Community, glibc was created as part of the GNU Project but has grown to operate as an autonomous project. As part of the GNU Toolchain the glibc stewards support the gcc project policy changes presented here: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/236182.html The glibc stewards are seeking input from developers to decide if the project should relax the requirement to assign copyright for all changes to the Free Software Foundation as follows: Contributors who have an FSF Copyright Assignment wouldn't need to change anything. Contributors who wish to utilize the Developer Certificate of Origin[1] would add a Signed-off-by message to their commit messages. The changes to accept patches with or without FSF copyright assignment would be effective on August 2nd, and would apply to all open branches. The glibc stewards, like the GCC SC, continue to affirm the principles of Free Software, and that will never change. glibc will continue to be developed, distributed, and licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or any later version as published by the Free Software Foundation. Input on this issue is accepted until July 1st 2021. Signed, Ryan Arnold Paul Eggert Jakub Jelinek Maxim Kuvyrkov Joseph Myers Carlos O'Donell [1] https://developercertificate.org/
