>From the description you provided, it sounded like Jeff was employed
by Adobe when he wrote the code. Thus, Adobe actually owns the
copyrights via work-for-hire rules. And thus, Adobe has the right to
grant his work to the ASF under the already-filed Software Grant.

So based on my understanding from your description: yeah. We don't
need anything from Jeff.

To be polite, we ask his wishes (and he's already said "whatever", it
seems), but we don't *have* to ask.
