        I think our modifications do not meet the requirements 
to deserve protection under copyright law. Although it is more
than 15 lines, it is by no means original.

        It would not be a problem for us (Ludovic and myself) to sign
a copyright assignment, via the company we work for. The company has a
policy of publishing all works under the GNU GPL anyways. I'm sure
it's not worth the effort, but we will do it if address@hidden says
we should.

        I wrote most of the code/documentation part of the patch,
Ludovic did the rest of the code/documentation and took care of the
time consuming tests, patch generation, submission, digging etc. 

        Cheers,
