Re: Copyright/License Notice

Hi Kirk,

I added the GPL license to my amavis and postfix filters some time ago,
but have not updated the CVS copies in a while.

I understand that you'd prefer not to have GPL code in Logwatch, so
won't check in further changes. But I do claim copyright for the
scripts/services/{amavis,postfix} files, and do not wish at this time to
grant more permissive copyrights.

My significant changes occurred at:

   scripts/services/postfix:
   revision 1.29
   date: 2007/01/27 20:21:46
   Rewrite by Mike Cappella (MrC)

   scripts/services/amavis:
   revision 1.29
   date: 2006/06/24 16:06:12
   Major rewrite from Mr C.

I don't care about additions I contributed before then, or minor
contributions to other portions of Logwatch.

Mike
