Re: libssh patch

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andreas,

As told on IRC, I think that his patches are to small to be eligible to
the statute of copywritable work.
Rubben, this is of course not in the intention of minimizing your work.
What you did is cool but in my opinion not worth adding your name to
the copyright file.
I think our copyright policy against corporations is relevant anyway,
in case you'd do some other development for libssh for your company.

Do you agree that we commit your patch in these conditions ? your name
and email address would appear in the git logs.

Regards,

Aris
