Dear Joerg,
I am packaging a program for debian, and wrote a manpage and two patches
for making it compile with libwxwindows. I am not very interested in
being the author list: I would be a bit ashamed that my name would
appear more frequently that the author's for a work which is not mine.
Also, I feel a bit lazy and do not want the burden of changing the
copyright file whenever one of my modifications is accepted or
obsoleted.
Is it OK if I release the patches and the manpages in the public domain,
and I do not mention the manpage and the patches in the copyright file?
Best Regards,
