And he's not doing it, the COPYING file applies for all the code which doesn't specifies its own license.
Notice that COPYING has this: "Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(IOW, people should care about their own code, but obviously people usually licenses their code under the same license the project uses, except some drivers that use a dual-license scheme etc) - 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/
