That's good, because IIRC, Ciaranm has stated before that he did /not/ |
| 18 |
sign the copyright hand-over -- it wasn't required by the time he |
| 19 |
came around, so if I'm not mistaken, particularly since that's what the |
| 20 |
original claimed, that /would/ be copyright Ciaran. However, a rewrite |
| 21 |
should take care of it, so as I said, good, if you're planning on |
| 22 |
reassigning. I'd still consider putting in a "based on ..." crediting |
| 23 |
him, as only polite, but I don't know that it's necessary. |
