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.

> > # 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.
