Let's just say it's b.s. like this which is why, 16 > years ago, I decided to work with Linux instead of BSD. so you don't mind if a couple of us go around adding say 10 lines of code to files you authored, and then put our copyrights under your name? good! i am glad to hear that. a bit of additional "undeserved credit" is always welcome anyway. would look good in my cv. it is not just a bit of undeserved credit. the (c) owners will be asked in the future regarding any legal aspects of the files they hold copyrights to. i don't think those 2 gentlemen have earned that yet. -f -- dum spiro spero -- as long as i breathe i hope - 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/
