The website was obviously wrong. There are probably lots of
errors on our web pages, and only some of them I have mtivation to find
and correct.
You can't get copyright to contributions by assertion. When I
got CVS commit rights, no one asked me to assign copyrights. And I
commit to a CVS repo, not the web site, I rarely look at the web site,
anyway. The fact that the web site generation tools grab my
copyrighted content and add incorrect copyright statements arund is
indeed a bug, which should be fixed, now that you noticed it.
