I see the 2.4.20 kernel ships with serverworks.c version 0.3, which
is GPL'd, RH9.0 ships with version 0.7 ( with no mention of GPL)
Does anyone know the story on this? Who authored 0.7? Is it GPL'd??

If it's not GPL'd it wouldn't be shipped...

0.7 is based on 0.3. Its by Michel Aubry, Andrzey, Sun and Red Hat. Not
sure where the usual 4 line GPL blurb went. 2.4.21rc has 0.8 btw.

I authored the mess.
The GPL extra names are because back in the Andrew Balsa days of the
2.0.33,4,5-Jumbo patch series Aubry, Andrzey, et al, we all worked
togather.
Only Sun (osb4,csb5a) and I (osb4,csb5,csb6,csb6a) are the true authors.
I am just lazy and do not delete people's names.
What is wrong with it all now?
