Mart, let me know if you can assign copyright to the FSF,
and I'll send you the paperwork.

Paul?
Thanks, Mart.  Nobody has come up with a better solution, so let's go
with Mart's, with one proviso: it should be documented a bit more
conservatively, in that the documentation shouldn't promise any
particular behavior for unnormalized numbers.  How about putting
something like this in the documentation, instead of the last
paragraph of what was proposed in
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/6793>?
Did this ever move forward?

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?
My name is actually Mart Sõmermaa (&otilde; in HTML-speak). But regarding the papers -- I signed and sent them in ages ago.

Hopefully the name problem does not bar integration.

Best regards,
MS
