 The copyright notice has been tainted in [13516] on 28 Feb 2010. The
 commit action was executed by Andrew Nacin.

 The change of the copyright notice has licensing implications and should
 be considered as an act under the copyright law. From what I know, the
 copyright owners were not notified about that change nor was there a
 consent about making that change by the copyright holders.

 I suggest that the change gets reverted immediatly (for all affected
 branches/packages) and it's dealt with it as if the change has never been
 made. To reduce the damage potential, an immediate release for all tainted
 packages is worth to consider in my eyes.
