We'll check the svn logs to see if any such code was committed.

Presumably Milena's code was committed (by Ben) just prior to this message:

Subject: [Swift-devel] more compile time type checking

I just committed Milena's work on compile-time type checking.

GSoC's rules from 2008 regarding code copyright are here:

  http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_owns_code

Did Milena's code have any copyright declarations in it when you integrated it?

We may need to follow with Milena, as I suspect that nothing was explicitly done in this regard when her code was added in 2008.
