Out of curiosity, could you please show an email from such copyright
holder (with some references to the code in kernel contributed by
that person) that would say so?

It's not impossible that such a thing exists; however, I've heard the
quoted statement a *LOT* and so far it always turned out either "FOAF
heard about that somewhere" or "well, there's got to be at least one!".

Care to show evidence for your statement?  alt.folklore.urban rules,
please.
