Thank you, Jeremy. I have modified my code. It is much simpler using
that function. I am in the process of breaking my large patch up into
smaller chunks and getting it merged into the upstream project at this
time. Do I need to sign the license as I am an individual doing the work
on my own and not for a company? I ask because the page you mentioned
says I don't and I am wondering if it is out of date.

Thank you,

Trever
