It depends on local interpretation of copyright law. The FSF use 10 normal lines as a very rough guideline for accepting patches without explicit copyright assignment. This doesn't mean that 10 lines is the law, but that the FSF themselves are unlikely to sue over such trivial code pieces. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
