Comment:

 > Is it really a problem, for now, to share copyright among the multiple
 contributors?

 In the short term no, though it could be down the line. Email addresses
 become obsolete and people are often unresponsive. If we want to reuse
 stem code and can't contact a contributor then I'd need to rewrite those
 contributions. This isn't the end of the world, but it's a nice thing to
 avoid if they're fine for their patches to be in the public domain or CC0.

 Thus far you're the first contributor to strongly desire for his patches
 to remain as LGPLv3. In general I'd like to avoid this since most people
 don't stick around long. Stem has had nine contributors and only five are
 still around...

 That said, going forward I'm fine for your contributions to be LGPLv3.
 You're a fantastic developer and I remember your TorCtl contributions, so
 it seems unlikely that you'll completely go incommunicado. :)

 Resolving this ticket, though I'm happy to discuss this more if you'd
 like.

 > The Stem codebase is elegantly beautiful and I have enjoyed poking
 around in it.

 Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
