Yup, I thought we could always go back and edit the page if necessary.
That also makes it easier for you to rebase the patches, not needing to
keep many patches around, which can be messy for projects to which you
don't contribute too often.  :)

I have no idea what RH does.  I guess you mean the GNU stuff?  We're not
GNU in the man-pages, so I guess it doesn't apply.  I certainly don't
know of any copyright assignments from RH, and there's nobody else here,
so I guess they don't exist.  :)

If you point me to any documents, I can look at them.


Have a lovely night!
