Thats why all files have a > copyright-header stating the authors and the license... a git repo is in no way a release. the copyright entitles someone to copy the file without adhering to the gpl. everybody can copy it. with a 20 lines patch i dont see myself gaining any copyrights on this code. and if fons wanted to sell stuff containing my patch he might well do so. i dont care. i pushed up a git repo. > > > Of course it would have been more polite to send the patches to Fons first and > ask for his input and thereby hope for inclusion in the official releases. after his statement that there wont be session support i didnt think this was useful. anyways. switched git master to fonss original code. so someone unable to use git wont get my code. i am assuming that somebody who knows how to use git, is able to look who did the patches. > > > Have fun, > > Arnold > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user -- torben Hohn _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
