Jaromir, please find an example in the wolf4sdl package.

Well, I think that's a bit over-cautious. At a certain point we will
just have to trust upstream authors and take their words as given. Else
we could as well start to second-guess Copyright statements in source
file headers and challenge if the authors stated there are *really* the
copyright holders to that code or if they just claim so.
