+\r

+\r
+Thanks for thinking about this David.\r
+\r
+The good news: in looking into this further, the issue of leaving (c)\r
+claims in code is secondary. The primary thing I'm supposed to do is\r
+send patches with my work email.\r
+\r
+If I become a significant author in some file, adding a (c) Google makes\r
+sense if that the normal thing to do in notmuch. I'll keep that in\r
+mind.\r
+\r
+Google's open source lawyers tell me that regardless of what (c) marks\r
+appear in code, the author of code (e.g. significant patches) retains\r
+copyright unless other arrangements are made, such as those you see in\r
+FSF projects (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.en.html). When it\r
+comes to a real legal investigation things like the git commit log come\r
+into play. A "(c) Google Inc." is nice to have, especially if a project\r
+typically maintains them with some rigor, but it isn't required or\r
+particularly significant.\r
