You retain the copyright, but by putting it into Allegro you're giving
permission to anyone to do anything starting from that copy, so "copyright"
is a bit meaningless. You're of course still free to extend, sell or do
whatever with your own private copy. You just can't prevent someone
from doing whatever _they_ like either, starting from the copy in Allegro.
This is the situation for all code in Allegro, so you don't have to do
anything special.
