How about this: Signed-off-by: Craig Kelly (In-Store Broadcasting Network) Signed-off-by: Glenn Ball (Utilitek Systems, Inc.) Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman at lightlink.com> The first two aren't going to maintain the driver anyway, but I want the signatures there as contributor of the datasheet and holder of the copyright, respectively. If I'm going to "sign-off" that I am allowed to distribute this work, then I also want to include from whom this permission came.

[...] Therefore, I think Linus intended for us to be able to sign off this way. [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/86436/ Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
