I'm ok to merge it. I believe Patrick when he says that he was just
working from the bug report and did not read Ben's patch. Canonical
has more important things to do than debian-legal-style
pin-angel-counting.
Of course if Ben feels this would be actually infringing his copyright
(as distinct from being the general copyright policy he would follow)
then I would like to know it.
