Hi List,
I have a legal question that I'm not sure about. I would like to copy
some code from snake, a project hosted on hosted.fp.o, written by
jlaska, copyrighted attributed to RH, into smolt, which the copyrights
are attributed to Mike McGrath. I'm making some changes to the code,
and of course keeping the GPL license. How do I label the copyrights?
In Mike's name? in RH's name? in both? And how do I label it
exactly?
What I recall from my days of contributing code to the FSF was that one
added a line for one's own code. Thus, I added to the FSF's copyright
as follows:
Copyright (c) 1987, 1988, 1989 The Free Software Foundation
Copyright (c) 1989 Michael Tiemann
After I did a copyright assignment to the FSF, it became:
Copyright (c) 1987, 1988, 1989 The Free Software Foundation
But I am not a lawyer and that's just my memory.

The structure of world peace cannot be the work of one man, or one
party, or one nation...it must be a peace which rests on the cooperative
effort of the whole world. -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Part of the tragedy is of the artist is that there is no real goal in
achieving what you are naturally good at. The real satisfaction lies in
the things you accomplish by practice and effort.
