There are a lot of new files, and you sign these off, but I don't see your copyright notice in either of these. How comes? Didn't you modify this code?
The modifications are not extensive. We are not certain when to add a copyright statement.
Is there any specific guidance on this?
As a rule of thumb I'd say if you added or modified more than 10 lines of code, and/or if you implemented a significant conceptual change, you should add your own copyright notice.
Best regards,
