everybody can copy it.
with a 20 lines patch i dont see myself gaining any copyrights on this
code. and if fons wanted to sell stuff containing my patch he might well
do so. i dont care.
i pushed up a git repo.
OTOH in Torben's defence: It's kind of
tricky to do so: There's no
AUTHORS file nor any ChangeLog or README which usually come with FLOSS
projects to simplify that process.
I am not a lawyer but as far as I know the only legally binding place to list
authors of the code is the actual code-file itself. Thats why all files have a
copyright-header stating the authors and the license...
Of course it would have been more polite to send the patches to Fons first and
ask for his input and thereby hope for inclusion in the official releases.
after his statement that there wont be session support i didnt think
this was useful.
anyways. switched git master to fonss original code.
so someone unable to use git wont get my code.
i am assuming that somebody who knows how to use git,
is able to look who did the patches.
Have fun,
Arnold
