Harold that is license from GNU.  I request do you agree to change the line
Copyright (c) 2000 Harold Hunt to Authroship 2000 Harold Hunt?  It should be
no issue.
You will be author of your documents, and we will have an easy solution of
avoiding
putting Copyright noticed on Red hat server which does not belong to RedHat.
That is all
I asked.  It should not be a big issue for an opensource project.
Opensource project 
will help you for your resume when you go to job market, you can still show
you are the author
and that is all the employer cares ;-)

You are allowed to modify, etc any GPL software too, but you do not own
the copyright?  That is a license issue.  You own the authorship of only
modified portion if you choose to stick a note on the modified portion of
the code and/or document.

Thanks
