And after “Get More Search Engines” you have to actually search for “Google” and then install something called “Google Search Suggestions,” whatever that means. It's definitely not a simple task to replace Bing in IE8.

In relation to tracking down contributors, is that even necessary? I'm not sure if it's the case with the kernel, but usually any GPL-ed application is accompanied by the text "This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License [...] either version 2 of the License, or any later version."

Admittedly, the GNU site says that the emphasized bit is optional, and I don't have a copy of the kernel source handy, so this is one big assumption. :-)

Can someone set me straight?
