Thanks for digging that up.

I thought we were still waiting for copyright paperwork,
since searching ~gnuorg/copyright.list for "Somermaa" showed
no match.  However, now I see that the paperwork did reach the
FSF, but with a slight spelling change: the name in that file
has *3* 'm's: Sommermaa.

Has anyone adjusted the documentation as Paul suggested?
