He was kind enough to send those LogicPD and we began putting it together against the latest Linux Kernel for inclusion and that was done by Jacob over the summer and finished off by Tim. Stephan Linz is credited in the patch and Peter Barada (another LogicPD employee) is listed as the maintainer though his part (along with me) in getting these specific patches out have been more behind the scenes. So having the names listed as they are now is OK. In the upcoming months we will be pushing out additional support for the LogicPD's boards and it will most likely come up a variety of LogicPD engineers depending on our workload..
