The new BBDB also has a file bbdb-snarf.el which is a complete rewrite of the old file, where only the general concept of "snarfing records into BBDB" survived. This snarfing can be a neat thing, but it is certainly an add-on to the BBDB core. So to avoid whatever problems, it can remain with other add-ons at savannah.nongnu.org without affecting BBDB core functionality. Actually, the file says: ;;; Copyright (C) 1997 by John Heidemann <jo...@isi.edu>. ;;; $Id: bbdb-snarf.el,v 1.44 2006/05/26 21:20:07 fenk Exp $ ;;; ;;; This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ;;; it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published ;;; by the Free Software Foundation version 1. John Heidemann has an FSF copyright assignment on file and I can check with him about bbdb-snarf.el. The above email address appears to be up-to-date. What kind of document would the FSF need from him for this file? The subsequent maintainer of the old bbdb-snarf.el, Robert Widhopf-Fenk, assigned "past and future changes" to the FSF. Is this sufficient? I could also try to contact him, though I have found him difficult to reach. Would this be sufficient for "Copyright by the FSF"?
