one-lines are not considered to change the copyright of a code.
The length of a patch is not relevant, it is the significance of
the contribution ... so debatable in same cases.
AFAIK, Renaud has taken care to have permission of
any significant contribution!
We contributed some code to the GTK client and
he was carefully aware of the legal aspects!
