Sorry for breaking the rules.  Will do better next time.

I have somee questions though:

- Who is allowed to proclaim a Copyright-paperwork-exemption?
- What is the limit?  (I checked 'CONTRIBUTE' before committing but did
  not find one.  (Maybe I just missed it.)  So I assumed this patch to
   be "small".)
- Does it matter that I modified the patch before committing and
  pushing?
