The whole issue of copyright transver is an US Amarican one. As far as I understand it, this is not even possible according to German law. This means this is a complete non-issue for me and most other contributors to GNUstep. Feel free to change it if you like to. I only played along to keep the FSF happy. But don't expect too much from that change. I don't think this is what keeps developers away from GNUstep.
