	You dream of assigning copyright to the FSF ? - strange indeed, however
you can still do that, it's no problem. However - you also need to sign
a joint copyright assignment on those strings for Sun - I guess if
you're assigning copyright to the FSF - they might need to sign the JCA
- I have no idea. There is IMHO no reason to be scared of the JCA though
- it & the SISSL seem fair to me.
