Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 09:54:54 +1100 From: Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@...mens.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ppp: Change copyright notices from ANU to me This changes the copyright notices on the PPP code that I developed in the late 1990s from being copyright The Australian National University to copyright Paul Mackerras. I can do this as I have an acknowledgement in writing from the Head of the Computer Science Department at ANU (where I worked then) that ANU does not claim any intellectual property in this code. While I'm at it, change the copyright notice from BSD-style to GNU GPL like the rest of the kernel.
