	Hi;

	Thankyou very much for this clarification, and
explaination. I think what had happened to me, was that I
was simply relying upon the implicit copyright of authorship, and
when that line that indicated I was the author was removed, that
consistituted a change to the ebuild, and the gentoo copyright
was added. If I put in an explicit copyright, I assume it 
would have been preserved...
