+* Q: I wanted to ask about "Works for the Public Good". What does that mean,
+ in practical terms?
+ - A: It means that our (your) work - must be made available under Libre
+ Licenses. In this project's case we chose the LGPLv3+.
+* Q: Do I retain copyright?
+ - A: Yes you do however we do ask that you make a "dual-assignment" so
+ that we can enter into (non-exclusive, non-transferrable) re-licensing
+ agreements to large Corporations that do not like the LGPLv3+.
+ Given that you would receive a percentage of a substantial amount
+ of money (which will be a donation by that Corporation) there is
+ a financial incentive there (licensing deals for GPUs start around
+ USD 250,000 for the low-end ones and go up from there).
