Re: [urgent] Parted 1.4.4

I see that 1.4.4 changes the copyright statement:

-    Copyright (C) 1998-2000  Andrew Clausen, Lennert Buytenhek and Red Hat Inc.
-
-       Andrew Clausen                  <address@hidden>
-       Lennert Buytenhek               <address@hidden>
-       Matt Wilson, Red Hat Inc.       <address@hidden>
+    Copyright (C) 1998-2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

We do have a blanket copyright assignment with GNU, but I'd like to be
contacted first.

Does this mean that all new code will require a copyright assignment?
There is checksum code in the soon-to-be-submitted ia64 support that
comes from a third party source that may be difficult to reach for
assignment.
