Precisely, that is the problem. Lets talk to the legal team to get a more pragmatic policy in place. See for example: http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legally-Significant.html for the GNU Maintainer guidelines around such micro patchlets. But it isn't an issue for the current patch, which has already been checked in thanks to Jon. Cheers, Mark
