For the record, there’s usually no paperwork involved when incorporating
third-party code like this.  It would be inappropriate to ask people who
wrote code for some unrelated external project to assign copyright to
the FSF (info "(maintain) External Libraries").

(It’s also interesting to see how the SLOC metric doesn’t work here,
given that the explanation of those 15 lines fits in several pages of
dense non-trivial technical work.  :-))
