What does "copyright the NHS Hack Day community" mean?

[doismellburning]

Can we either have a proper copyright declaration / implementation, or just not have one at all?

[drcjar]

I have no idea. +1 for not having one at all.

[doismellburning]

I mean, I do like the idea of having proper copyright assignment, but at that point you want an entity to assign things to (which is a very different discussion...)

[drcjar]

I remain happy with you being in charge of that :-)

-10 to not having one.

In practice we regularly ask people to not use the brand/photos/etc for their Not Nhs Hackday.

Ohc is the natural legal entity unless someone volunteers to do the extra paperwork.

I misread the double-negative and was just about to push a commit removing it :P

In which case you'll probably want a CLA for contributions + copyright assignment for existing? Am happy to look at that (bwim probably "steal someone else's + build committer list") tomorrow night.

(Longer term I'm happy to look at distinct organisation if that works, but not this month)

@doismellburning et all -- can you reach a consensus on this?

I'm in favour of having some licence-y thing as per David's comment above.

We talked in the pub last night about having a Brand New Shiny And Unpartisan Organisation potentially, rather than continuing to use OHUK...hmmm

[doismellburning]

I'm pro some licence-y thing (I think we all are). I'm anti "semi-meaningless licence-y thing of misdirection".

So NHSHD as a Company Limited by Guarantee then? (I feel the scope of this issue might have just suddenly ballooned ;))

[DeckOfPandas]

To contain scope (at least temporarily!)

GPL?

What about:
