5* Copyright policy
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
The developers of libssh have a policy of asking for contributions to be made
under the personal copyright of the contributor, instead of a corporate
copyright.
There are some reasons for the establishment of this policy:
* Individual copyrights make copyright registration in the US a simpler
process.
* If libssh is copyrighted by individuals rather than corporations,
decisions regarding enforcement and protection of copyright will, more
likely, be made in the interests of the project, and not in the interests
of any corporations shareholders.
* If we ever need to relicense a portion of the code contacting individuals
for permission to do so is much easier than contacting a company.
