I understand that you've got concerns about an copyright with
my name on it in traceroute.c. The copyright was the "standard" one
I threw on anything I wrote while working at CMU in the late 80s and
early 90s. That particular bit of code was part of an nslookup clone
called "resolve". By 1993 I was working at the PSC, which is affiliated with
Carnegie Mellon. The code travelled with me and seems to have ended up
in traceroute, probably via Matt Mathis.
Although I'm by no means knowlegable in copyright law, I'd
imagine the more liberal PSC copyright supercedes CMU's rights from my
copyright notice. I'm happy to cede any interests I might personally
retain in the code. So, as far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to elide
or rewrite my copyright notice as needed for the Debian distribution.
