    In the 2.6.15-rc5 kernel we find:
    data@amazon linux-2.6.15-rc5]$ find . -name *.[chS] | xargs grep -n "All
    rights reserved" | wc -l
    932
    [data@amazon linux-2.6.15-rc5]$ find . -name *.[chS] | xargs grep -n
    "Copyright" | wc -l
    15083

    But I do wonder how copyright and GPL can co-exist. Do the copyright
    holder own the changes anybody else does to the code?
    Anyone care to explain?

    Thanks
