Aloha Andreas,
I agree with you about the stupidity of the 10 line rule, and I
begrudge every bit of attention I have to squander on US copyright
law. However, if that law keeps like-minded individuals from working
together on a free project that requires a corporate entity to
complete long-term goals, then I think it will have achieved one of
its core goals. I'd hate to see that happen.
All the best,
Tom

Please not I signed the FSF-disclaimer but not the paper

Are you willing to sign those paper?
That would help, because the patch is more than 10 lines...
Hi Bastien,
please permit pointing at the silliness of such approaches, which
state a creative work starts upward from 10 lines.
No single haiku will ever have a change to be protected by that
famous US-copyright law.
I'm against spreading stupidity over the world and see with sorrow
people abiding to it.
It's quite the opposite of freedoms GPL promises BTW.
Beside: Writing a programs name at the side of it's key will remain
a trivial change even if this triviality is repeated.
So don't be afraid, if I refuse to sign which I think it's wrong
from bottom up.
It remains a trivial change, sure.
Andreas
Thanks for your help,
