My memory of Red Hat practice is to let individual contributors
decide, and in many cases we choose to put our own name in the
copyright, possibly because it's fairest and clearest. That is, it
wouldn't normally be a copyright attributed to Red Hat, but to
some.developer at redhat.com.

It sounds as if you are suggesting we assign copyright to oVirt, which
doesn't make sense to me. oVirt isn't a legal entity that can hold a
copyright.
