I'm not sure even this is required. It seems reasonable, and I'd expect
most modifiers would do this. However, it may be an "appropriate notice"
to just say "this work is copyright (c) 2003 by multiple authors, see
"AUTHORS" for details.
IANAL, so I don't know where the edge is here.

Hi all
I've configured and built the kernel, using gcc-2.95, make bzImage and
modules, installed modules under /lib/modules/2.5.68. Everything goes
fine except for a bunch of depmod errors during the 'make
