Hi folks,
tha patch had been proposed by Michal Sojka on December, 14, 2012. Ralf Angeli
replied to the suggestion, saying the patch was kind of crude - well, I could
upload the patch again, but according to my understanding of your comment this
does not seem to be the point here.
Should I try to get in touch with the author and ask him whether or not he
would copyright it to the FSF, I am simply missing the appropriate
understanding? Would it be enough to have a kind of written statement that he
does not care about the ownership of the code?
The way I came up with this question ought to depict clearly that I do not
intend to adorn myself with borrowed plums by any means ... I had simply been
curious about this specific functionality and it was highly probable (to me)
that someone on the list would know more about, maybe a reason why this had
not gone into the source as yet ...
Thanks again
Dieter Jurzitza
