From the FSF's point of view, this is brand new code and, as such
should, from day one be given the correct (C) and correct license. To
do otherwize would be confusing.
Think of this as part of a brand new port that you've never seen before.
Even though the contributor might have a separate repository containing
a very long history of changes, all that is irrelevant to the FSF. From
the FSF's point of view, the file is ``born'' the day someone
contributes it.
