That's fine - there would be no problem about including such a copyright acknowledgement within the affected files. If you wish, this can also be recognised in the top-level COPYING file. > Also, please let me know, if there are any kind of legal requirements > for the contributions made from corporates. The only requirement would be for your contributions to be released under a BSD-style licence (or something equivalent). We cannot accept contributions that would impose additional restrictions on how other people might legitimately use the Net-SNMP package. That basically excludes the GPL or similar.
