Yes this sucks, but legally, there is no such thing as an automatic transfer
of copyright. So, the policy is: if there is no clear GPL and Copyright
info, there is no inclusion of the patch. And yes we screwed up on EML. And
yes, we'll gladly include it back as soon as the original author gives us
clearance (which would require him to answer to my e-mail in the first
place).

Yep. Money order payable in euros only, at my address. There is an
undisclosed bribe thresold (if you reach ten times this threshold, I'll
tolerate USD), orders under that threshold will be cashed and ignored ;-)

pints are fine for beer, especially for Guiness ;-) (though "un demi" (=half
pint or 33cl) of Doreleï makes my day) And a pound of meat or fruits is 500g.
