Changes or bug fixes that are only 2 or 3 lines in nature, generally aren't. Also, two more points: 1) copyright law and licensing are two different things, don't confuse them 2) even if an author fails to put an explicit copyright statement into his work, many countries define their copyright law such that copyright of the work by that author is implicit at least to some extent - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
