Pardon me, but you were just publicly accused of violating the GPL, so your response is to send a patch removing the copyright notices of all other organizations from the SCSI-target code? Have you obtained ownership of all the relevant copyrights for Linux-iSCSI.org, PyX Technologies, Inc, and SBE, Inc? If not, then this patch is an attempted violation of those organizations copyrights and of the GPL (which requires that you preserve copyright notices). Further, while these notices are the only ones listed in those files, they are not the only individuals outside of RisingTide Systems which have significant copyright interest in this code. If your goal is to obtain exclusive copyright ownership over this code then there are a great many other people you must contact and convince first. I would encourage you to talk privately with the Software Freedom Conservancy before sending more patches of this nature.
