Huh. I see your name right there in the ChangeLog. I'm not sure how my
sed script missed you. Sorry.

Yeah. That bothered me a little when I first had to do it and, I have
to admit, it bothered me when I was at Red Hat and it bothers me now
too. I think you've hit on a real barrier to entry there and since we
now have a dataset of two rather than one we can really claim that we're
right.
I have to ask you have to do something similar with the FSF. Would that
be an issue for you too? Probably not since it isn't a for-profit entity.
The other odd thing is that newlib has no requirements for an assignment
and it is an integral part of Cygwin so I have to wonder how Red Hat
reconciles that.
