Good day!
 
In the `::gentoo` repository, the header/copyright line is fixed [1]:
 
> All ebuilds committed to the tree should have a two line header immediately at the start
> indicating copyright, followed by an empty line. This must be an exact copy of the contents
> of header.txt [2] in the top directory of the Gentoo repository.
> 
> > # Copyright 1999-2024 Gentoo Authors
> > # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
 
Also, there are the `pkgcheck`’s `InvalidCopyright` [3] and `NonGentooAuthorsCopyright` [4] checks.
 
So, the `::gentoo` ebuild file MUST be owned by `Gentoo Authors`.
 
But what if the ebuild file is placed outside o `::gentoo` AND
A-case. isn’t derived from any of `::gentoo` ebuild files;
B-case. is a modification of some `::gentoo` ebuild file
?
 
My guess on the ownership is:
A. `Me`;
B. `Gentoo Authors and Me`.
(And I guess I’m able to transfer my rights to the `Gentoo Authors` completely in both cases.)
 
Am I correct?
 
Thanks.
 
Sincerely,
Alexander Kurakin.
