If the licence is long and involved, it's +permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the +WHENCE file. +And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself. + +Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone +authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from +within the company that owns the code). + + +WARNING: +======= + +Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or +request. Otherwise your firmware _will never be accepted_. + +Maintainers are really busy, so don't expect a prompt reply. |
