From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Daniel at theia.denx.de Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:34:43 +0200 Subject: [U-Boot] [sunxi][nand][legal] Message-ID: <87fv388ri4.fsf@turtleware.eu> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Dear all, to my great detriment I've recently noticed, that Sunxi SPL NAND support I've been working very hard to upstream has been lately reverted. I was surprised, that nobody has acknowledged me about that. Namely I'm talking about commit: da9971d1b3bdb554d4a4ac948119f8b2616bbcce I guess it was an act of my dishonest ex-employer, with whom we have now legal issue about copyrights on above-mentioned driver. In January 2015 I was granted with the permission to upstream the code to Das U-Boot from my ex-employer and sent set of patches which I hadn't time to work with later (note the copyrights on nand driver): https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-sunxi at googlegroups.com/msg09354.html After this job I have finally had time to finish this work (which is based on already published code from January 5th). It didn't took long, when Antmicro send me a legal paper with claims that I infract their copyrights ? what isn't true. This dispute is still pending on the legal ground. I have no words for such a meanness from my previous employer ? to give permission to upstream code and then, for probably the some business reasons, deny their own words. This is really tawdry.
