So it is. My views didn't change since.

Computing is about ideas, not about counting code-lines.

Even if a developer noticed a bug at the other side, which helped him to 
choose the right alternative, the other part is involved. Copyright in 
computing is such a nonsense, it's a shame pretending it.

But let's come to some mistakes more neareby:

- Stating someone signed the copyright-papers or not doesn't belong into 
the comment section of a code-file. That why I coming upon and the only 
reason so far.

- The problems of Emacs' Python edits don't result from the existence of 
two different development branches, where _all_ developers have some 
merits of every side, as pointed at above. The problems result rather 
from a lack of imagination what's needed to have an environment as state 
of the art.

So please, let's not jump into that eternal copyright loop. Let's go on 
bug-fixing and maybe building the environment afterwards.

Cheers

Andreas
