From: Gergely Nagy To: Cc: 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, -- Gergely Nagy
