I agree that there's nothing copyrightable in those patches. I will get the copyright assignment sorted out anyway. > I'll also mention here incidentally that there are a number of files > which claim Copyright (C) 2003 John Dallaway 2003. There are also personal copyright notices for Nick, Bart and yourself in the repository. All these copyright notices date from the months preceding our employment with eCosCentric. eg configtooldoc.cpp rev 1.13 of 2003-02-13. For avoidance of doubt, copyright in my own changes will be assigned to the FSF. > No need to update the files themselves - I'll do that in the Grand > Header Munge. Is this still imminent?
