That's good, because IIRC, Ciaranm has stated before that he did /not/ sign the copyright hand-over -- it wasn't required by the time he came around, so if I'm not mistaken, particularly since that's what the original claimed, that /would/ be copyright Ciaran. However, a rewrite should take care of it, so as I said, good, if you're planning on reassigning. I'd still consider putting in a "based on ..." crediting him, as only polite, but I don't know that it's necessary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
