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?

Please advise,

Note there is a fedora-legal list which is probably a better place.

IANAL but what is usually done is:

If you copy entire files, retain the copyright and license notices as it is. If you copy parts of another file, note that copyright and license information in the header
