For libata and submitted patches, how is copyright dealt with? Based on
some googling, it sounds like each project decides on its own policy of
whether ownership is transfered to the maintainer, stays with the submitter,
or does something else.
This isn't a question of licensing; it's just a question of how copyright
and patches work for libata and linux.
I'm also not expecting a legal answer, just some idea about what's intended
=)
Thanks,
Tim Thelin

No doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding
is that the actual copyright remains w/ the submitter. The license
is, of course, GPL.
