Did Jiri have an FSF assignment on file when at ESA? Does ESA have an assignment on file? If the ESA assignment is in place, then it should just be a matter of asking Jiri. Gaisler/Aeroflex has an assignment on file now. I will email Jiri and see what he remembers. Joel B., do you have access to the assignment list at FSF?
