Sorry for not informing you.
We had a discussion on gnome-i18n:
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-September/msg00097.html
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-November/msg00230.html
http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2002-December/msg00001.html
After reading *many* articles on copyright laws I finally decided to use
the variant described in 2002-December/msg00001.
I'm sorry for having omitted all maintainers. I've learned my lesson and
it won't happen again (unfortunately I commited similar fixes to other
modules). I'm very unexperienced and was obviously to motivated.
Feel free to revert the change.

regs,
 Chris
