It is not so much about copyright, but about crediting people fairly.
Gary has done a significant amount of the work that eventually became
part of the patches here, and I would have sent the patch with at
least a `Co-developed-by` from him.

Not to mention every commit in the kernel has a SoB, regardless of
what files are modified -- I would not remove a SoB from somebody else
when forwarding a patch even if they were all non-copyrightable files.

Cheers,
Miguel
