Hi,

After a long pause of silence let me bring up the EBCDIC topic again.
In May, I posted the patches for EBCDIC machines which were supposed
to work on Siemens' BS2000 machines (and were prepared to run on other
EBCDIC based platforms, mainly IBM's).

In the file ebcdic.c, however, I had left the Apache Group's
copyright message because I was unsure of the contribution status -- 
I was the original author, but I had contributed the source
to The Apache Group.

After discussing this with Ralf(rse) and some of the other Apache
Members, I am confident that I am entitled to change that copyright
to OpenSSL's (as far as my own code is concerned) but there is another
problem:

I had copied a second EBCDIC <-> ASCII translation table from the
IBM TPF tree of The Apache Server. It is slightly different from
BS2000's. If I change the copyright, then I would have to take out
that part of the code. (That's allright with me, because currently I
don't need the IBM tables myself, but it would make using the EBCDIC
port much more difficult for IBM users).

What's your understanding of this situation? Should I go ahead and
re-post the updated ebcdic.c with the IBM table removed (and a note
added where to get it)? 

Uncertain,

   Martin
