Subject: Installing patches without getting legal papers.
Date: 28 Oct 2002 23:44:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5xfzuqqj3f.fsf@kfs2.cua.dk> (raw)
Some time ago, RMS recommanded to me that when installing _small_
patches received from "external sources" without proper legal papers,
those changes should be marked with "(tiny change)" in the ChangeLog
[in case you want to attribute the change to the person who submitted
the patch].
Recently, a few such patches have been installed in CVS without being
marked with (tiny change). I don't know whether the people who
submitted those patches have actually signed legal papers, but if not
(or in doubt), I suggest to add that indication.
