Be careful here. Now that you've left eCosCentric, you do not have a
valid copyright assignment in place with the FSF - you are no longer
covered by the company one. As it happens, both the patches of the 30th
probably both sneak under the "is a copyrightable work" bar... the first
because it's small, and the second because it's essentially the same
thing repeated a lot, although it's definitely thin ice.
Please get an assignment sorted out ASAP before any further patches.
It's probably worth including the files in these patches in the part of
the assignment which lists modifications to existing files, just in case.
I'll also mention here incidentally that there are a number of files which
claim Copyright (C) 2003 John Dallaway 2003. Since you were employed by
eCosCentric at that point, eCosCentric's assignment would apply, although
in that case it's not quite clear to me why you put your own (C) on there.
But if there is any doubt about that (although I don't think there can be
any really), ensure those are included in the FSF assignment as other
modified files. The files are:
host/tools/configtool/standalone/common/ecosconfig.cxx
host/tools/configtool/standalone/common/cdl_exec.cxx
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/admindlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/appsettings.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/appsettings.h
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/platformeditordlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/configtool.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/configtooldoc.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/docsystem.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/ecutils.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/ecutils.h
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/filename.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/mainwin.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/mainwin.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/makefile.gnu
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/packagesdlg.cpp
host/tools/configtool/standalone/wxwin/symbols.h
host/tools/ecostest/common/eCosTestPlatform.cpp
packages/ecosadmin.tcl
No need to update the files themselves - I'll do that in the Grand Header
Munge.
