For README:
All changes either committed, corrected and committed, or some
variant thereon committed.
For COPYRIGHT:
I think the intent of Ryan's patch was simply to better indicate
the new (not really, but new compared to that file) ownership,
which has been known to elude the knowledge even of active devs
(see the recent thread about it from Jordi for an example).
However, the new text submitted is simply incorrect.
<verbose text about how so deleted for readability's sake>
Anyway, what I did was (try to) indicate Dom's position, but
without (afaik) changing the essence of the paragraph to
something it isn't. Again, IANALOD [Or Dom]. Dom: please
review the new wording; if it's wrong, please fix it or
tell me how to fix it or revert it or tell me to revert it.
Anyone else: if you see a problem, please send a corrective
patch to the list (or a message asking me to revert it) and
I'll leave it up to Dom.
Also, regarding the instance of the word "use" (as opposed
to "distribution") pointed out by Rui, I haven't touched it.
I don't doubt Rui, I'd simply rather defer (again) to dom and
the ghosts of the past. I don't mind making the change if
given approval and asked to, but...you get the idea.
Sorry about all the nitpicking, but I'm sure you're used to it by now

Thanks Ryan

(oh, and yes, I unix2dossed it before committing)
