Since you can't assign copyright, FSF policy forbids me applying the patch to findutils, so I can't use your contribution at all.  Sorry.   Thanks for your time and effort anyway.

Indeed.  There's no chance I will sign an assignment document.  The wording is too offensive.  Sorry.  But you are free to use whatever I put here.

Should I assume that <assign@gnu.org> has not managed to persuade you to sign an assignment document?

This is a useful improvement.  Unfortunately the change is a significant contribution, and this means that a copyright assignment is necessary.  I realiase that you have already made a copyright assignment to the FSF, but that covers only message translations, I think. 

Therefore in order to progress this, could you assign your change to the FSF, please?   If you let me know by email if you'd prefer to assign just this change or to assign your past and future changes to findutils, I can send you the appropriate form.

Thanks for your contribution.

Find's man and info page sometimes speak of 'predicate', but this word is nowhere defined: it only defines 'expression', 'option', 'test' and 'action'.  In my opinion 'predicate' shouldn't be used, but instead the more specific words.  The patch makes this trivial change.

It also corrects a few inconsistent spacings, and adds a missing attribution.
