Just forgotten - nano doesn't fill them in automatically for me :)

I know that in Germany the Urheberrecht says, that normally nothing is allowed
except if you expressively allow it. I just forgot that when I updated the
wiki.
I shouldn't have just uploaded it without getting permission first. I'm glad
that Olaf now gave his general permission to upload his public statements.

When I write something in this mailinglist, in IRC or similar, I'm perfectly
OK with that (you can treat this as the option to assign the copyright to the
FSF - just to have it explicitely stated :) ).
When I write private email, I want to be asked first.
Best wishes,
Arne
