Well if some was on your own, then that'd be your copyright no? or was
it not significant enough? Anyway I don't mind having to cook another
patch with just adding Canonical, though. Also, sure yeah I also prefer
to acknowledge who wrote what even when they might not hold the
copyright for it.
Anyway, the following patch is what I'll be applying if I don't hear
otherwise.
thanks,
