For example, the first commit (the correct > placing of the pivot element) doesn't seem to be copyrightable. sorry, but i don't think that would be acceptable. the only way to get merged with glibc would be to file papers with the FSF assigning copyright for the work you're contributing. (note: i don't represent the FSF or hold their opinions on copyright assignment, i'm just informing you of their policies; i.e. don't shoot the messenger) -mike
