Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:58:52 -0400 (EDT) From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: Credit for vsprintk work Frederic, $ git blame lib/vsprintf.c |grep 'Frederic Weisbecker' | wc -l 542 You did a hell of a lot of work on vsprintf.c, and you are still too modest to put in a copyright at the top. I know some people think that git is good enough for ownership. But really, the amount of changes that you did in vsprintf.c deserves a bit of credit in the source file. Is everyone OK if a copyright goes at the top of this file giving credit to Frederic? If for anything else, it will facilitate people to find who broke it if it breaks ;-) I think Frederic should send one more patch to add his copyright. That is, of course, if Frederic wants too. Note, Frederic did not ask me to post this. In fact, this is the first time he's seen this complaint. I'm posting this because I was showing this code to some students at a University and when I wanted to point out who wrote it, I was surprised that Frederic's name was not mentioned. I was looking at the code via LXR so git was not helpful here. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
