So how do you propose to solve the situation, in which my driver is
rejected, but another persor takes it, makes changes (btw breaking it),
and presents it as their own, and it's accepted? This is a paid work and
I'm required to put in my employer's copyright over the code.
I could have made this error once - but no more.

The code will be mergeable, as I already wrote. Why would I bother
otherwise? But I cannot let that history to repeat itself.

How does a lack of an SoB line prevent someone from doing exactly what
you've described above ?

Maintainers usually understand these issues. They may fail to notice,
but if you point out a patch that would steal your work, that would
prevent it from being merged.

I'd like to believe this as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like
that. See the "tw686x" (an SD TV frame grabber) case.
I didn't even request that the other driver wasn't merged. I only wanted
it as a patch on top of the original one - so the history could be
visible.

I only review kernel code covered by the GPL, sorry :-) (And stating
that a kernel driver isn't covered by the GPL is at the very least a
very grey area, as it's widely understoof that drivers developed
specifically for Linux are derivative work of the kernel)

Such tags have meaning only in the kernel context, when signed-off etc.
Alone, they aren't legal statements, especially when I explicitly state
that it's not signed-off-by me yet. Nevertheless...

Obviously, this code was always meant to be GPLed and it seems really
crazy to me that we even have to have such conversations - about
a non issue, at least from my POV.

The fact is that 6 years ago I wrote driver for a SDTV frame grabber -
and another developer "took" the development from me, and published as
his own. This wasn't probably illegal - after all my driver was covered
by the GPL from the start. But was it really how we all want things to
work in Linux? With such experience, is anybody surprised I want to
avoid this history repeating itself?

For other patches I don't care about such formalities, but this driver
is a work paid by an external entity and it would be unfortunate to
end up the same way as the tw686x driver.

I stated multiple times I will sign this code off when it's accepted.
Is it really a problem? Really?

If so... perhaps there is some other way?

I'd hate to think that the next time I'm to keep my code unpublished.

If:
- the driver is in good shape, e. g. no coding style issues,
it uses the right kAPI at the right way, etc;
- the driver is based on the current media_tree.git tree;
- if you're willing to be responsible during the review process;
- you would provide maintainance support for the driver if
bugs are reported;
- the driver has a valid Signed-off-by;

then the driver is mergeable.

Media maintainers need a SoB in order to be able to review, as
driver review takes a lot of time and efforts from reviewers, and
the time they spend reviewing a driver prevents them to do their
(paid) work.

That's said, on a very quick check, it sounds that this driver requires
some work. For instance, it is based on an v4l2_subdev_pad_config,
which was recently replaced upstream.

Thanks,
Mauro

Huh? It is a statement of the license of the file itself, it is
independent of "Signed-off-by:" which is a legal agreement of a totally
different thing and is independent of license type entirely.

Putting the above line on a file _IS_ a legal declaration that the file
is released under GPL-2.0. It's pretty simple :)

Do you think putting this line anywhere, in any file, does it?
That would be crazy.

How about a book, e.g. describing a patch submission process (but not
a copy of kernel's Documentation). The same?

Also - in all countries? Most of them?

Come on.

Then why would we need the Signed-off-by?
From my perspective, the SPDX-License-Identifier is only meaningful when
the file is actually a part of the kernel, or if, at least, it's been
presented for merge, with Signed-off-by etc.

Greg, on a side note, the discussion originated from
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/[email protected]/. I'll
quote Krzysztof so the discussion doesn't get split across multiple

Quoting Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:

Sign your work - the Developer's Certificate of Origin
------------------------------------------------------

To improve tracking of who did what, especially with patches that can
percolate to their final resting place in the kernel through several
layers of maintainers, we've introduced a "sign-off" procedure on
patches that are being emailed around.

The sign-off is a simple line at the end of the explanation for the
patch, which certifies that you wrote it or otherwise have the right to
pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you
can certify the below:

Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:

(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or

(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or

(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.

(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.

then you just add a line saying::

Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <[email protected]>

The SoB line doesn't convey any license information, that's specified
separately and explicitly in each file (usually in the form of an SPDX
tag, which is just a machine-parsable, short-hand version of a full
license header in text form).

Then how do you propose we solve the problem?

For example, how about a declaration: that if somebody is working on
a driver (in this case) and has actually presented a (possibly not yet
mergeable) patch, then versions of this code from other people will not
be accepted at the same time instead. Please note that I don't mean
abandoned code, I mean a code which simply needs some work and thus
a bit of time.

Those other people can always apply their changes once the original code
is accepted, right? And the changes may get a chance to be examined :-)

Or is it too much?

Well, TBH drivers/media is a fast moving target... But it's something.
I will obviously update this when I'm back from vacation.

Thanks.

Why not? I can put such a text on a book (say, an e-book) as well.

I'd say you're right with the absence of indication to the contrary -
but if someone explicitly states something is not (e.g. yet) under GPL,
then how one could say SPDX-something has legal precedence is beyound
me.

I assume the latter and not both :-)

Well, that's my position.

The difference seems to me a copyright is regulated by international
agreements and various national laws. A big part of the world doesn't
need the "copyright line", the "protection" is automatic.

But yes, I will remember to ask our lawyers about it. Now that I know
I need to.

Where would that text be and what would it mean?

It is identical to saying "this file is licensed under this specific
license". That is what a spdx line means, please read up on them if you
are curious.

That's not what a signed-off-by means, please do not try to make it
something it is not.

I would not waste my time on code that does not have a signed-off-by on
it, otherwise the developer is obviously saying they do not want to
merge this as-is. And I think we all have plenty of code from
developers that actually want to have their patches merged.

I would want it be be merged as-is, and would happily supply a SOB, but
nobody would merge it at this point. This isn't a problem, though.

> And I think we all have plenty of code from

Oh well. I want to have *MY* patch merged. That's exactly why I did what
I did. I did state that I will sign if off when I get positive response,
when the patch is ready to be merged. Isn't it clear?

I almost always sign off my patches. However, this is a specific
situation. Few years ago I published a patch for the same subsystem.
Obviously signed it off etc. It was exactly my SOB that caused it to be
*NOT* merged. Not because it was really bad or something, but because
another developer modified it and the modified patch was given priority.

I didn't object to the modified driver, in fact. I only wanted it to go
through the same process as all other patches, on top of my original
code, to see if it had merit. Guess what.

After all I was told that I had abandoned the code, but it was summer,
I had vacations. I'm starting vacations in a couple of days as well,
will 3 weeks of my absence mean abandonment again?
drivers/media is a fast moving target, catching up will take some time
as well. Abandonment?

Should anyone be surprised that I don't want this story to repeat
itself?

Or, maybe, it's just me. Maybe such actions are good and welcome among
Linux developers? Please answer.

Does it matter?
It would be on something that is not a part of the kernel. That's the
point - the SPDX tags may have a lot of meaning in the kernel, and none
outside of it. I can write SPDX-* on a wall of my home and it doesn't
mean it's now a public house.

It was just said that drivers written specifically for Linux (but not
derived from GPLed code) are automatically under GPL. They don't, for
the same reason - the GPL can't define it's scope (nor it claims to);
the author/owner has to do it. At least, it works like that in my
country.
