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. Paul set@pobox.com -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
