Asking him is the right way. The question to ask is whether he wants to contribute this code to Emacs and/or GNU ELPA: if he does, then that means his copyright assignment does cover this file and so that means that the "Copyright (C) 2014 Johan Andersson" should be changed to "Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc". Of course, you want to keep his name as an "Author:" and/or "Maintainer:". > context-coloring/languages/javascript/libraries/ also includes 3 JavaScript > libraries with their own copyright notices.
