You certified:

  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.


And if you think this doesn't cover Jon's patch you should also 
complain to LWN and the Linux Foundation who published data
generated from the same datasets as Jon's patch.
