Uh. I assumed that was about actual explicit contributions, i.e. patch contents and suchlike, but not the text of my emails. In this case it's fine, since Zhaoming had explicitly asked and I said I don't mind, but generally I wouldn't assume peoples' emails are licensed under GFDL 1.2+ and copyright-assigned to FSF. And furthermore, I must admit I'm typically unhappy when a certain somebody ;) just takes my emails and Ctrl-C's + Ctrl-V's (well, M-w's + C-y's likely) text into QotH or wiki pages, only lightly edited (e.g. s/me/Sergey/g). Not because of licensing or copyright, but just because the way I write emails is tailored to that medium (and to the specific discussion / email thread); I would have written things differently if I was writing a wiki page or a news item, so it sounds "off" to me. This is why I ask y'all to either re-formulate the facts you got from me in your own words, or quote me directly (e.g. "in his email (link goes here), Sergey writes: blah blah blah"). Again, this _has_ been handled appropriately in this case, so no complaints here. Hope that didn't sound overly negative :) Sergey
