Agree.

I made a lot of modification in the original MtxOrb.c file.
Most of the custom char logic is mine.
But I did not put my name anywhere in copyright stuff (nor the date).
I don't know who made the getopt code and the type of LCD code.
But they are on this list.

This is very clear, but what about those Linux loadable module.
Linux kernel is GPL but maybe they added an exception???
Or they read the licence another way (I don't remember the whole story).
That's why I wanted LCDproc to be clear about do and don't.
