Dropping an email from the copyright line makes sense; dropping the Copyright declaration altogether is a bit odd (the GPL works only in tandem with a copyright assertion) - but as you are the author of the line and copyright holder of your contributions, I am not in a position to say you are wrong in removing it, only that it looks odd. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
