30...40,000 lines I guess* - but a lot of the time I don't even ask for attribution - just put the GPL on it. I don't add email address' - I get enough poo as it is, and the ones from pre 2006 would be unusable anyway. It seems to me there's a whole sea change underway - from stuff being defacto protected by copyright - YOU DO NOT PUBLISH WITHOUT PERMISSION to a constant requirement to reiterate your rights everytime someone fancies going there own way. All with the best intentions of course - but then once the precedent is set... But thats google - I dont know it the DEB covers the same - it doesnt look like it but its not unusual to have things sneaked through and I cant read more than 10 paras without wanting to kill, kill, kill.... It does mean that you should listen when others who are not paranoid assure you that you've misinterpreted the problem. Just out of curiosity, how much code have you published under the GPL compared to, oh, I don't know, say me? Who's supposedly got the most to "lose" here?
