Huh.  I see your name right there in the ChangeLog.  I'm not sure how my
sed script missed you.  Sorry.

Yeah.  That bothered me a little when I first had to do it and, I have
to admit, it bothered me when I was at Red Hat and it bothers me now
too.  I think you've hit on a real barrier to entry there and since we
now have a dataset of two rather than one we can really claim that we're
right.

I have to ask you have to do something similar with the FSF.  Would that
be an issue for you too?  Probably not since it isn't a for-profit entity.

The other odd thing is that newlib has no requirements for an assignment
and it is an integral part of Cygwin so I have to wonder how Red Hat
reconciles that.
