Novafora has agreed to relicense the copyrights in sparse that were previously owned by Transmeta (i.e. the work Linus did before 2003-07-01) under the MIT license. Git repository: http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/novafora/sparse.git;a=summary Specific commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=devel/sparse/novafora/sparse.git;a=commitdiff;h=23525c14bc263d70165fedf469d35cdb31b0ac35 Thanks to Novafora, and special thanks to Robert for putting up with a couple of snafus over the course of this. From start to finish, this took over half a year to actually make happen. -hpa
