"It is amusing to imagine that for every e14/Pace/Tematic/Castle-financed commit to RO source repository, the copyright (i.e. ownership) has been automatically assigned to ROL. As I said, I would love to read a licence that tries to achieve this."

This sounds a lot like SCO saying that IBM put their copyrighted code into Linux. What actually happened, it seems, is that IBM put JFS (their file system from AIX) into Linux. SCO tried to pretend that because AIX was based off their stuff, everything IBM did to it was theres. Laughable. Much like this claim, unfortunately.
