Note that in the case you quoted my request was that you  add  *your*
name,  not  only  that  of  our company. This is Free Software, and I
consider you the copyright owner. I  am  aware  that  in  many  other
companies  you  have  to  sign  contracts that all such rights belong
exclusively to the company, but DENX doesn't do that.

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by  at  least
one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
