Hello Karl, thanks for your suggestions, I applied all of them
Maybe here, or somewhere, I wonder about inserting: Since the Free Software Foundation holds the sole copyright on GNU Automake, it will be necessary for any significant contributor, whether individual or corporate, to sign a disclaimer or assignment of copyright before contributions can be accepted. Please confirm that this is acceptable. I still worry that this is going to be a stopper. Or at least a big delayer. The last thing I want is for us to go through this whole process and then neighborhoodie "can't" sign the assignment. Or for them to start posting changes but I can't install them because the assignment hasn't happened.
I added your paragraph to the section "Describe why your project needs those services?"
Your are right, this might be a problem. We will see how this turns out. Can I submit the application? Kind regards, Christoph
