I don't understand the page at: https://wiki.linaro.org/Copyright
I've put the new Toolchain WG web tools up on Launchpad so that others in the group can get it. It needs a README (fine), license (EPL apparently), and copyright statement.
I'm paid by Canonical but work for Linaro. The Copyright page says that new work is (C) Canonical and then the copyright 'flows' to Linaro. What does this mean and how do I achieve it? What copyright statement should be on the work and where?
At a different level, how do you apply the EPL to a project? What text should I have in what files to record the license and copyright? Is there a standard way of doing this?

Sorry, I've tried hard to word this page multiple time. New work is basically copyright Linaro. Happy if you can help reword the page.

Probably you want to have a copy of the EPL in a COPYING file at the top of your project, and headers with copyright + mention that the work is under the EPL and pointing at the COPYING file.
Ta. I've written down what I plan to do at: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/HowToLicense
If this is correct then I'll push it up to a top level page.
Is 'Linaro' the correct name to use in the copyright statement? What is our full legal name?

I'm not sure we want to duplicate too much of https://wiki.linaro.org/TSC/LicenseSelection
The license should be in a COPYING file, not COPYRIGHT.
I don't think mixing Coding standards in the mix is a good idea either.

Linaro is what I told in the past, but I still share a similar doubt about the corret name

I'd like to record how to apply a license to a new product. A section on the TSC page would be fine.
The license should be in a COPYING file, not COPYRIGHT.
Yip, fixed.

Yip, deleted.

I've cleaned up this page to remove the discussion of copyright "flowing" which I think is unnecessarily confusing. What we care about is who the copyright holder is, not so much the process by which it gets there. :)
Still listing this as 'Linaro' as the copyright holder; I don't know if this is the legal name or not, but it's the only one I know :)
There is a "real company" Linaro Limited registered in the UK:
http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk/6b20f8c5f3dab9f8ebd32262f5f53687/compdetai...
...but I don't know whether/how this applies to copyrights.

Thanks, I've updated the wiki page to list 'Linaro Limited' as the copyright holder.
FAOD, the patch I sent you for that project is copyright Linaro, as per the CodeSourcery contract (it's a non-FSF project, of course).
