Daniel,

To what extreems (or not) should one try to maintain the provinounce of GPL-ed source?

In this case, -*something*- in the code Wu was contributing must have come from Cygnus.

How much of a 'back trail' should one try to maintain?

Is this spelled out anywhere or is it "folk wisdom" one obtains by reading all these mailing lists?

This is not a major question, but one I have come up against severial times before.
