Thanks (big smile) !  It's good to have a bit of encouragement.

There's really no more to say here: my initial message was about IBM
& I reacted as might any casual reader of their page,
wondering why they were including 8-year-old information re its author.
I did not remember that it was also included in Gentoo docs, but now do.

It's clear to me by now that Gentoo does the correct & sensible thing:
reproduce the original as it was in 2000 with a prominent disclaimer.
It's IBM which is not doing that & needs prodding: I've sent another comment.
