Yeeeeeaah, that was my thought :-)

To answer the question, though, that's the whole point of making a 
trivial change. My understanding is you can copyright that trivial 
change, which then covers the entire work, with the exception that the 
original PD version is still PD. It's a farce, really, but should comply 
with the letter of the law. :-)

Hmm, is there a list legal<AT>redhat<DOT>com? ;-)
