Hi,

Fine. I just wanted to be sure.

We don't really care. First, there is no "SANE group" (only loosely
organised contributers on the mailing list). Second all the code is
owned by the contributers. For the backends we add the names of
programmers to the file AUTHORS. For smaller parts (e.g. patches) we
state the author in the ChangeLog entries.

Should I just add: "Patches from FreeBSD ports collection" or your
name (or whoever wrote the patch)?

Thanks for the answer,

Henning
