The stuff in MTD CVS (grub/ directory) is all mine, IIRC. You're welcome to
license it under eCos-compatible terms -- are you still actually insisting
upon copyright assignment to Red Hat? Does it matter that I just assigned
the copyright to the FSF so it could actually get included in Grub? :)
Any later changes which actually make the thing work probably belong to
Ilguiz.
