It's not a valid requirement as it's not legally acceptable by the
grounds of the lawyers I have worked with in the past.

So yes, again, I'm pushing back on this. Can you prove that it is
something that is legally viable?

Then how can the copyright go to "code aurora forum"? That's my main
point here, there are multiple "shell" organizations at play, all of
which are trying to hide legal culpability, so to try to then try to get
legal rights seems very disingenuous, if not flat out impossible.
