Sounds reasonable. I wasn't sure if the GPL allowed something like
this.

So does this mean that patch-writers and committers 'give up' their
personal copyright when they contribute? I know you can always check
the version control system for the author of a specific line of code,
but I'm not sure if that has any legal basis.

I know I'm nitpicking here. But I just want to know how it is, so I
can get the legal stuff out of the way.

Thanks.
