"(and not copyrighted, surprisingly) part of original source code" I am truly surprised by the quoted above . How can you think the original source code is not copyrighted? As far as I know, US copyright law doesn't have distinction between different parts of software code. Unless the upstream put the work in public domain explicitly as in the GPL FAQ link below, I don't think you understanding about copyright is any close to right. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#RequiredToClaimCopyright Best, Manhong Sent from phone
