[nagdu] GDF Update

[Danielle Sykora]

I am also a graduate of GDF. I remember the ownership and custody
policies being read and then each student choosing which one he or she
would prefer. Beyond that, it really wasn't an issue. Some people
didn't seem to care whether they had ownership or not while others
did.
