You should file copyright assignment papers with the FSF, if you haven't already. Here are instructions:
It's a two-step process. First, you send some info to the FSF, then we mail you the actual paperwork to sign. Assignments have to be done on physical paper to satisfy the requirements of copyright law. When you fill out the form, the answer to the "employer" question depends on whether you intend to use any of the old code. Please email the following information to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes. Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST: SEND FORM FOR PAST AND FUTURE CHANGES [What is the name of the program or package you're contributing to?] [Did you copy any files or text written by someone else in these changes? Even if that material is free software, we need to know about it.] [Do you have an employer who might have a basis to claim to own your changes? Do you attend a school which might make such a claim?] [For the copyright registration, what country are you a citizen of?] [What year were you born?] [Please write your email address here.] [Please write your postal address here.] [Which files have you changed so far, and which new files have you written so far?]
Maybe `--files-from', since GNU tar uses that, but those names aren't separated with NUL bytes.

Thanks, but that's something I should do. Some of those entries are way too cryptic and probably won't mean anything to most people. When I first wrote many of them, they were not meant to be read by others.
