I was following the Apache sample you gave. If ovirt.org is not a legal entity for intellectual property matters, and contributer does not belong to a company we'll get to a state which every file in the project will be copyrighted to a different person. This is too chaotic.

It is the norm for many open source projects. Diversity is healthy.

Agreed. It's a feature, not a bug. Regards, Anthony Liguori
