Is there a legal entity behind freedesktop.org to assign copyright
to, though?
In any case, you're essentially agreeing with me, I think - it *is*
Mikhail's copyright, and he has simply failed to assert it. (Of
course, I'm largely assuming that Russia's copyright law in this
respect is analogous to the Berne convention etc.)

There does need to be a policy, which also needs to include an IPR
policy and all the rest of the legal mumbo-jumbo that we're stuck
with.
Sorta RFC3667 and RFC3668 for fd.o, really.
