Re: Copyright/License Notice

No problem -- I changed the copyright to your name for those two filters.

To keep things simple with Logwatch itself can I leave the current
versions under the Logwatch license?

Should we include a link inside of the filters to your website so that
users could download the updated and GPL-licensed filters?

Thanks!
