That is good because Legally significant is defined.
Here I would change: > this includes code less than 15-line-long to: > this may includes code less than 15-line-long To show that it's not always a given that 15 lines long aren't significant, especially since we tend to add people's copyright for smaller changes. Especially the documentation you point to has: > If a person contributes more than around 15 lines of code and/or text > that is legally significant for copyright purposes Here the "and/or" means that under 15 lines the text could still be copyrightable.
