	Hi Joachim;

	If you have seen my reply to Karl, then you probably see
what happened. I asked for a clarification, and I think I got it.
I had been relying upon the Bern Convention (implicit copyright
for creators) and the apparantly historical Author header in
ebuilds. I will include specific copyright declarations in the
future.

Thanks;
Paul
