We have other ways of noting donations to the project as well. The
primary one is the "Obtained From:" header in the CVS commit, where
sponsored changes like this can be noted without affecting the
copyright in any way. Please consider using this if it is sufficient
for you and your employers needs.

Yes, we are, and we are also very willing to give credit. We don't want
to create anymore licensing nightmare than we already have if we can
avoid it.
