It also makes sense. If the changes are accepted back, the community at large will keep the changes maintained. Less work for me to do when going to newer code versions later. And even better, it may help someone else out too. A company is likely to like the reduced maintenance burden part, but I think the other part is even better. After all we saved time not having to write everything our selves, so helping others save time seems only fair. The GPL may only require giving the sources to the people who buys the product, but there isn't really any benefit to us in doing only that. -- Len Sorensen - 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/
