Condolences on your corporate legal department's silliness. I don't think the paperwork really matters at all for a one-character change. I guess it would be improper to do a commit with your Signed-off-by line without the paperwork, but one of us (me if I were not so lazy) could just commit the fix.
Grin, yeah. I have been straining myself to not just recreate the fix from scratch (writing this email is probably more work). Because I think it is better to have someone blocked on something this simple than have them being blocked in the future when they have something more substantial. Lets see if Nick can get something good out of his legal department. After that all future contributions should come "for free". Nick please let us know if things look hopeless then we can certainly just write a very similar fix ourselves. I have it on my list to double check before we do a new release.
