My apologies. I read a lot of people talking about wanting the code under different licenses, and thought I'd just cut through it by providing some PD code. I didn't turn around and look at it from the point of view of the people who'd put the work into developing it. I don't mean to deny anyone credit for their work. In fact, providing more detail is on the to-do list, but I haven't waded through the mail archives and tracked down who contributed what yet. I'll work on those polish details once I have it producing the same assembly code as Linus'. There are a lot of possible highly-permissive licenses if one is wanted (zlib, MIT, CC-by), but public domain seems simpler. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
