Yeah, but as with law, companies could change, they could get sold, who
knows. There is no guarantee for that not to eventually happens. I don't
doubt Digital Mars good intentions now and in the past, but
unfortunately I can't predict the future :)

Again, having something else, non-profit and more democratic would be
the ideal, but I acknowledge using Digital Mars is a reasonable
realistic option for the maturity level of the project right now. All
this considering we want to go the copyright assignment road, and
I'm not at all convinced about that.
