Yikes! Last week I had opened that file (first step: where's upstream?) and was horrified by all the attributions in individual files. I suppose this is made worse by upstream having two git repositories (manual work to track file movements). Would you like me to spend some time reconstructing a DEP-5 copyright file for 2.1, or would that also be wasted effort? -- Gerald Turner <gtur...@unzane.com> Encrypted mail preferred!
