I'm totally not a lawyer, but I believe officially and legally any
change you make is yours and needs/should have a copyright line.
On the other side, I believe that if you make a change and don't
attach your name to it then it's as if you've tossed it into the file
with all the other commits there and it can be assumed to follow the
rest of the file/project in terms of copyright.
