I don't get it, how come Google gets to decide anything about what to do with this patchset? Even the driver copyright doesn't belong to Google Inc, not to mentioned the GPL v2 license under which the driver is released.

And how come it is able to block even the subsystem maintainers work? -Serge(y) > > Bjorn
