thx for the work. is there a specific copyright form that is the one we should be signing? i am ready to sign personally and I think we all agreed that we will sign personally. i think the trickier question is point 5 below - how does an organization figure out if it needs to be added? if you/ the lucent lawyer think it is ok to just go in with lucent, then i think we should try for that option if it will work. d "Peter F.
