Subject: Revoking my copyright assignment
--text follows this line--
Hi!
Way back in 2015 September, as part of the Copyright Aggregation Project
by Debian and the Software Freedom Conservancy, I transferred my past
and future copyrights on programs controlled by the Debian Project to
the Software Freedom Conservancy. I sent a photo of the signed paperwork
on September 28th, 2015, in an email with the message-id:
, and received a countersigned
reply on the 30th, in an email with message-id:
.
I hereby revoke my copyright assignment for future contributions to
Debian.
I do so because our values no longer align, and I cannot, in good
conscience, let the copyright assignment remain in effect. Even if I
have not contributed to Debian in years, even if the chance of doing so
remains small, it's not zero, and when I do, I will **NOT** contribute
and have the copyright be assigned to an organization that failed
miserably to stand up against the LLM plague.
I do not know what's the process here, if I need to send any signed
papers or such. If I do, please send me a template I can fill out. For
the record, since the original agreement was signed (attached, for
reference), I have moved, and no longer reside at "[old address]",
my current address is "[new address]".
The revocation of my copyright assignment (and anything and everything
else covered by the original agreement) should be effective as of today,
June 18 2026.
Regards,
