I'll also mention here incidentally that there are a number of files which
claim Copyright (C) 2003 John Dallaway 2003. Since you were employed by
eCosCentric at that point, eCosCentric's assignment would apply, although
in that case it's not quite clear to me why you put your own (C) on there.
But if there is any doubt about that (although I don't think there can be
any really), ensure those are included in the FSF assignment as other
modified files. The files are:
host/tools/configtool/standalone/common/ecosconfig.cxx
host/tools/configtool/standalone/common/cdl_exec.cxx
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/admindlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/appsettings.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/appsettings.h
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/platformeditordlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/configtool.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/configtooldoc.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/docsystem.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/ecutils.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/ecutils.h
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/filename.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/mainwin.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/mainwin.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/makefile.gnu
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/packagesdlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/symbols.h
host/tools/ecostest/common/eCosTestPlatform.cpp
packages/ecosadmin.tcl
No need to update the files themselves - I'll do that in the Grand Header
Munge.
