The 'COX' disclaimers are named after the assumed inventor (Alan Cox). They contain the following pattern: Neither $PERSON nor $CORP admit liability nor provide warranty for any of this software. This material is provided as is and at no charge. $PERSON and $CORP are placeholders for individuals and corporations which vary with the various source files. But other than the names the wording is identical throughout all. The individuals have a copyright notice in the affected files. The email address belongs to the associated corporates. Interesting question what to do with those. Thanks, tglx
