I have no clue what Paul modified here what not. I am not going to
investigate and I have no way to actually perform such investigation. I
cannot verify the source.

The case with Greg, is indeed surprising, but I could perform the
verification, because the work is both public and in known place.

It's expected for submitter to certify (c) from the list which was BTW
expressed also many times during many reviews by many people.
