Yeah, I just stuck my usual license header on it and didn't think about authorship. I'll fix that, once we figure out what the appropriate name is. But, as this code is clearly a trivial adaptation of the existing kernel code, it should carry a GPLv2 license. I'm also not particular as to the EXPORT restriction, I was just following the EXPORT advice given for the other newly exposed kernel symbols we're using. --=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-qfjxnpC7eYWMaEHIXmm+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBJAe5fQp8BWwlsTdMRAoymAKDkHnjX6k+ke+eLAFfFbGOhqRYj8ACgnY0P BPH85Rh5Tu12F9phX4BCC7o= =OFFe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-qfjxnpC7eYWMaEHIXmm+-- -- 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/
