Jan, are you holding copyright on this or is it dual, and what does dual
mean in this case?

Sure do I, do I? Hmmm, I can't even tell what percentage of the
sourcecode is mine. I guess the second line predates the
"Portions Copyright" and the one who plastered that simply failed
to removed my name. If memory serves I agreed to removal of all
my personal Copyright lines when we discussed the new License
text. Didn't I?

So reading Copyright lines is what you do at teatime? Man, don't
you have to tickle Catherine, apply some patches or do something
else that has value?

Going through my email, Vince mentioned it.  It isn't glamorous, but it
needs to be done.
