Thank you, Konstantin!
I would like to put both your "Co-developed-by" and "Signed-off-by" into the
patch, because:
(a) We should give you credit for the documentation that you've written :-),
and this man page change is based on your documentation in the kernel
Documentation/ directory and headers.
(b) Committing this man-page change would put it under the
"Linux-man-pages-copyleft" license, which is different than the licenses
used for the kernel, where the documentation was originally written. I
would like to add your "Co-developed-by" and "Signed-off-by", so that it's
clear that we all agree on this.
For reference, the rules for "Co-developed-by" are also discussed in [1].
Would that work for you, if we put your "Co-developed-by" and "Signed-off-by"
lines on the "ABI version 4" man page commit?
Thanks,
—Günther
