Thanks.  Patch below.

Just because you contributed before does not guarantee that there is a
copyright assignment on file for you.  I checked the authoritative list
on fencepost, and while you're listed for many other project, grep is
not one of them.  Is it possible that dosbuf.c was written by you for
some other project, and then pulled into grep?  Otherwise, some previous
maintainer may have simply neglected to request the paperwork.
