I'll add a GPL to it in my next patch. Could someone review drivers/parisc, arch/parisc, and include/asm-parisc for both copyright and redistribution license? A first step is to post a list of file missing either item. If there is a "standard format" for either item, it would be good to know what it is and whether or not parisc specific files are "close enough" (or not). Willy, I noticed Documentation/SubmittingDrivers makes no mention of copyright. Perhaps the following should be added after "License:"? Copyright: The copyright owner must agree to use of the GPL. It's best if the submitter and copyright owner are the same person. If not, the entity whichs authorizes the use of GPL should list a contact in case it's necessary to verify the will of the copyright owner. thanks, grant
