Thomas Schwinge said in another post that he saw the code to be copyrighted to FSF. Actually, I stole the copyright notice pattern from unionfs source files last year, so I hope there will be no problems with this :-) >> I am going (rather naturally) to use git as the VCS for my project, >> which rises the following question: how do I do the forking itself?

Anyways, Thomas promised to do the conversion for me, so there is no real reason for me to be against ;-) Regards, scolobb
