Ok, it's now your task as an Intel employee to get this paragraph
stricken from the "default template" that GPL code in the kernel,
written by Intel developers, has.  It's pointless, and unless you want
to be personally responsible for tracking the address changes of the FSF
for the next 40+ years, not something I'm going to ever accept.

I know you aren't responsible for this, but I'm getting really tired of
pointing this out each-and-every-time I see a file from an Intel
developer.

So please work to fix this.

thanks,

greg k-h
