Re: [PATCH v6] Add an option with a color type.

[Andrei Pikas <gdb@mail.api.win>]

Hi. In PATCH v6 I have fixed all problems mentioned in all previous 
versions. But after that it became stale and no one reviewed it. What is 
a copyright assignment and how can I give it to you? I allow anyone to 
use my code from this patch without any restrictions and I will be glad 
if it gets be merged.
