I trust the other main contributors are on board also.
Not all have sought to cooperate with the group formed around me.
For example, Scarecrow and Phill Brander are possibly doing 1-man projects at this time. Grob (Gareth) has produce some drawings of an alternative design in the spring time 2007 but I think that design is now dormant. Phill calls his project the Blade 12 and has done so ever since it inception some 5 years ago. It is basically a different project from the F12 I started in public a year ago. It aims at different design goals and our disagreement was the cause that I started a different project under the name F12. I have no detailed info about either project except their statements (and drawings) as publicized on the F12 forum.
So how do we define being "on board" ?
Do I infer then that the statement on the F12 site refers to contributions that are made to you directly, i.e. by email?
Not exclusively. I reserve any and all rights that can be had in relation to the F12. Private communication is only a part of that. You will never see me explicitely define the area to which rights are retained as that is a legal trap. As by the same action I loose the rights to area's I may have overlooked.
