You send out a mail to me and other people, that you'll step back from kernel development and additionally told people: "Please feel free to take anything that's useful from my past patch submissions or the downstream branches and use it/submit it in any way."

To me this is contradictive, but I think we can agree that it is at least ambiguous. I suggest you to reply to your original mail and clarify this for other people as well. Otherwise you may see yourself in the same situation again, sooner or later. Also because this is uncommon, no one expects that. Ususally - and that includes me as well - people are much more worried to be misrepresented as the author of stuff that has changed too much from their original code. > > This really is *totally* fine for me, and I won't argue about it (even though > > one could). > > Continuing to mention that "one could" and previously "even though I do > think my changes do justify how things are currently" means no, you are > not totally fine with it, and you are in fact arguing about it. No, I can be totally fine to comply with your request and still be convinced that what I went with was reasonable. I even had to point this out, since otherwise it can be read as if I would not be convinced that I did the correct and reasonable thing.
