[Pieter Hintjens]

Thanks for the advice, Ewen. See here:

https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/1917

If you see things to fix, I'll make them before the patch is merged.

With my "time traveller from the future" hat on:
- please commit this statement into at least one of the ZeroMQ git 
archives (eg, https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq)


- ZeroMQ was originally developed by FastMQ, which iMatix acquired 
(http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2009-November/001353.html; 
http://imatix.wikidot.com/press:fastmq-acquisition)


- can you say something about whether that acquisition included transfer 
of all FastMQ copyrights to iMatix, and thus whether the FastMQ 
originated code/copyright is covered by this MPLv2 license grant; or 
whether FastMQ remained a separate subsidiary of iMatix and the 
copyrights remained separate[0]; and


- can you say something about your understanding of what proportion of 
the copyright FastMQ owned, at the time of the acquisition by iMatix 
(2009-11-01), versus what proportion of the copyright was owned 
individually by developers who might have been working for/with FastMQ.


Thanks,

Ewen

[0] The press release says FastMQ became "a division of iMatix 
Corporation" which implies separate, but the copyright strings in the 
files got updated about 2 months later:

Yes, it comes from a well known account and a judge in court looking
at this would accept it as plausible enough to sustain. In case of
doubt, I hereby sign it:
