no prob.

aah, please not! That paperwork is really not worth at all for such a
trivial change. Dont count the tests - they are not copyright-able :)
Anyway the patch is entirely based on your suggestions, and no new code
was introduced. Claiming a copyright for skipping one space char is a
little bit crazy, isnt it? Even the idea for it is only a logical
conclusion if you just compare the different checksum tools, nothing more.
** I post here on a public list that I donate any rights on this trivial
change to the FSF, and that it was entirely my own idea, and that I am
an independent developer, and not connected to any company. **
I only looked into the patch to speed up the process of getting this
into coreutils, and to the benefit of all users.
thanks, Gün.
