The lack of a copyright statement on svgamodes.c appears to be an
ommission in commit 004f5b3a where the contents of that file were
created from another file without copying over the license statement.
I will submit a fix for it.

I don't want to be nitpicky, but it is unclear if you are
uncomfortable with the submission.  If you are, please state that and
I will revert the commit.

We do try to make the copyrights and submission process transparent.
I don't feel the license or process has been unclear.  The DCO was
indirectly documented before via the QEMU documentation:
  https://www.seabios.org/Contributing
states the process follows:
  http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
The SeaBIOS license is in the COPYING and COPYING.LESSER files in the
git repo.

Thanks,
