I'm totally not a lawyer, but I believe officially and legally any change you make is yours and needs/should have a copyright line. On the other side, I believe that if you make a change and don't attach your name to it then it's as if you've tossed it into the file with all the other commits there and it can be assumed to follow the rest of the file/project in terms of copyright. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
