now.
   
   Modifying copyrighted code does not change the copyright or release you from 
the obligations of the license.  It does not give you the right to claim that 
you are the author.  It does not give the ASF the right to claim the coyright 
on the code.
   
   This must not be merged yet (even though is was incorrectly re-opened).  I 
believe there are license problems and, at a minumum, we need some guidance 
from @justinmclean..  I believe that this is still third party code and that we 
are currently violating the copyright and licensing.
   
   Editing Gregory Pietsch code with never change that.  That is just an 
unethical attempt to hide the truth.  If you bury some one else's work with 
enought edit's that it is harder to trace to the true owner but does not change 
the facts.
   
   If Justin thinks this practice is okay, then we can merge.
