Hello,

Yes, before your patch. What I suggested is that you should run "make
legal-info" after your patch.

OK, but that doesn't work, because you have no guarantee that the
package has been built when "make legal-info" runs. "make legal-info"
only ensures that packages have been: 1. downloaded, 2. extracted, 3.
patched.

So, with your patch applied, if you run:

 $ make clean
 $ make legal-info

then you will see that it fails, because the COPYING file doesn't exist.

Best regards,

Thomas
