anyone who has contributed substantially has to have papers to cover them 
specifically.  if you did it for a company, then that company has to have 
papers filed (which it seems you did via imgtec).  the fact that Steve has 
papers in place is irrelevant.

so if imgtec has papers covering all of its employees, then that should be 
sufficient here.

note: i'm not applying these rules because i want to (or even agree with 
them).  the fsf governs this code base, and their rules are to no longer 
accept unassigned work.
