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.
