Re: What does "disclaiming a copyright mean"?
Disclaiming a copyright means releasing into the public domain. (as in
no copyright at all). IANAL, but looking at what the license file
says, I would assume it to be copyrighted by Said Abdeddaim and
released under the LGPL, but the parts written by Burkhard Morgenstern
are PD.
