Also, this statement is nonsense, as you don't do anything there that has any effect.

I didn?t find anything on the subject. Although there was some information with the GPL license basically saying that you need to put your own copyright and then put a copy of the license.

In any way, I think that it passed the Wolfgang "filter", because he is driving me crazy with something else :)

If we have some advice for the copyright after the patch is accepted, we will adjust it then...

As a rule of thumb I'd say if you added or modified more than 10 lines of code, and/or if you implemented a significant conceptual change, you should add your own copyright notice.

Every message that is sent through our company SMTP server has this nonsense notice attached, so that is why I use an external SMTP server with git-send-email to send the patches.
You don?t have that message in the patches.

So at least we can use his patches, we just have to ignore his other messages (hm, if my interpretation is right, we were to report the incidents to his management, but I'm afraid I don't have enough time...).

Well, he broadcast the message to the whole world by sending it to the email list which is archived by gmane and others, including the wayback machine.

Obviously the whole world is the "INDICATED RECIPIENTS" and thus it is OK to "TAKE COGNIZANCE" of his email. :-P

You are not a lawyer. You apply much too much common sense.

The text reads: "IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO *ANYONE* TO TAKE COGNIZANCE..."

In legal speak, "anyone" really means "anyone", including the "indicated recipients".

Probably I was not being explicit enough in my first complain, but exactly this blunt "ANYONE" really ticked my off in the first place. Even if the company decides not to drop the footer, they should change the wording to leave any sense in sending mails *at all*.

Ftpd never switches uid and euid, it uses setfsuid(2) instead. The
main reason is that uid switching has been exploited in several
breakins, but the sheer ugliness of uid switching counts too.

The text reads: "IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO *ANYONE* TO TAKE COGNIZANCE..."
In legal speak, "anyone" really means "anyone", including the "indicated recipients".
Ahh, you are right. You've out Englished my English. ;-) My English teacher in the 5th grade would harp on this: it should say "ANYONE ELSE" to prevent the internal conflict. So many native English speaking people like make this error that we've become like blind to it.

Probably I was not being explicit enough in my first complain, but exactly this blunt "ANYONE" really ticked my off in the first place. Even if the company decides not to drop the footer, they should change the wording to leave any sense in sending mails *at all*.
I hate to pile on, but I am curious if the French version suffers from the same problem. My high school French is not good enough to tell.

I'm sorry, but my french is also not good enough. It seems like there is also no qualifaction in the french version. But then again one need to ask a native french speaker.

[oh wait, I *can* do that]
[time passes]

So on a sidenote, a native french speaker confirmed that the french version has the same all-exclusivity problem. Nice one.

Cheers

Hi Wolfgang and Hugo,
while studying the mail footer of Hugo, I found a <irony>slightly problematic</irony> phrasing:
Quoted 1 line
THIS MESSAGE AND ALL...
So Hugo, please get rid of that message or I will advise Wolfgang to heed your footer...

I got rid of the message.

Is everything fine with the patch now?

I did not see any negative reaction to your 5th version[1], so its up to the custodian now. What do you say Jean-Christophe?

Cheers

Since the patch doesn?t seem to be added at the moment, I will post an updated version of the V5 patch which fixes a few issues I have found since I submitted V5.
