Yes, but that seems silly to me. We should not be using tags in this way. First there needs to be an agreement of what kind of tags we should allow in the commit messages, before we start using them. > > I could add Sponsored-by tag documentation and in checkpatch.pl script > as well as other possible scripts where required as pointed by Andrew. > > I think this is a good way to give credits to companies that sponsor > patches and it could be more interesting for companies in general to > pay someone to upstream patches because they have their name on it. > Otherwise it's not an everyday task to add a driver from scratch > and write in the top comment that is sponsored by some company. > Also now there is SPDX so that part would be dropped too. > > What do you All think about this? Do I go for a RFC patchset to add > the Sponsored-by: tag? My opinion is just one voice here, so at this point it doesn't really matter what I think. If *you* think this is a good idea, I encourage you to submit an RFC to the kernel docs for this. In this way we can collect the comments and see if people think this is a good idea. That said, do you want me to apply $subject patch without the tag or would you rather proceed with submitting an RFC first? [...] Kind regards Uffe
