I see that 1.4.4 changes the copyright statement:

We do have a blanket copyright assignment with GNU, but I'd like to be
contacted first.
Does this mean that all new code will require a copyright assignment?
There is checksum code in the soon-to-be-submitted ia64 support that
comes from a third party source that may be difficult to reach for
assignment.
