Let me add them to this thread: Gerd: Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann Hans: Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Sylwester: Signed-off-by: Sylwester Nawrocki Johannes: "I think I didn't contribute to that documentation? Anyway, just in case: I agree with the change to forbid adding invariant sections." Signed-off-by: Johannes Stezenbach Ralph: "I also do not think there is anything left in there which I contributed. The original documentation up to 2002 probably is copyright of Convergence.
