Given your company (Oracle) sued Google over 9 lines of Java (the now
infamous rangeCheck function), I hardly think it's appropriate for you
to discourage someone from following through with copyright assignment
for a minor contribution.
This has nothing to do with Oracle v. Google, but with GCC policy of not
requiring a copyright assignment for small patches from the first-time
contributors (which Paolo knows as a long-time GCC hacker). Of course,
after a certain limit the assignment is required. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html.
Also, please don't top post on this list.

Well, it never got to sign the copyright assignment.
Certainly you don't need an assignment for 3 lines of docs!
