So it's > public domain, isn't it? There's nothing in my patch that's copyrightable in my home territory, and even if there was I would be happy for you to consider it so. Of course, crediting patch submitters is less about law than it is about community and the /appreciation/ of the contributions of others; many times a bug fix results in a trivial, non-copyrightable patch but the bug itself is very subtle and the effort that goes into the debugging is worthy of recognition. This is obviously not the case here, I couldn't care less if you credit me for this change. :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
