	Hi;

	In my case, I submitted ebuilds without any explicit
Copyright notice. Devs made a minor change or two, and slapped on
the GTI copyright. After asking, I was assured that I could
copyright my own ebuilds, which I started doing. Im not sure if
any made it in-- just recently, a few ebuilds from the 4 digit
bug days with my copyrights on them were re-examined, and I was
asked to change the copyright as a precondition to inclusion. I
declined, and requested the bugs be closed.
