[PATCH] Documentation/media: uapi: Explicitly say there are no Invariant Sections

[Ben Hutchings]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1390 bytes --]

The GNU Free Documentation License allows for a work to specify
Invariant Sections that are not allowed to be modified.  (Debian
considers that this makes such works non-free.)

The Linux Media Infrastructure userspace API documentation does not
specify any such sections, but it also doesn't say there are none (as
is recommended by the license text).  Make it explicit that there are
none.

I pinged some developers that don't use to listen to the media ML
as often as they used to do, and to the sub-maintainers, via the
sub-mainainers ML, and got some SoBs. Let me add them to this thread:

The original founders / authors / coders of LinuxDVB have signed off
on this, and that is most important to me.

Are you still waiting for agreement from any contributors, or is this
ready to apply?
