thank you for your kind words, Nicolas ;).

Yes. Trouble is nobody could explain to me what I have to sign and what
that means in the legal system I'm in. My last attempt to find that out
was in #emacs. It's about 'transfer of copyright' to the FSF. If I
translate 'copyright' to the corresponding construct in our legal
system, the transfer isn't possible. I can't give away the copyright.
Maybe 'transfer of copyright' isn't what signing the FSF papers mean, I
don't know. And IANAL ;).

Maybe it's a tiny change, if we strip the comments ;). It's not too
sophisticated, everyone could have done it.
