Perhaps you should -- the patch impairs your changes to get needless device enumeration changes into the kernel... Enforcing your strict interpretation of GPL v2 ?? 2a, 2c to the letter was your own idea. I had to touch "modification prohibited" sections to remove obsolete (bogus) warnings. I'll amend the license: Show me your integrated patch. If it works properly on my computer and without false warnings, you add a note to the changelog and the AN-2.01.01a06 file, I will demote the patch's license to the MIT license as in . Yes, this is a license contract offer as per the BGB. Just write you're accepting it, or accept implicitly by sending the integration patch against 2.01.01a05. I just want to make sure that it doesn't bear my name if the integration breaks it again. The code can probably be simplified even more with readdir() on /dev and filtering it (avoiding glob() buffer issues), my patch doesn't even attempt to do that. And if you explain the use of LF_ATA, the kernel drivers might even be fixes so that /dev/hd* looks confusably similar to /dev/sg*. -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
