I'll never understand the obsession with this one redundant snippet of text. It's not as
though my hitting Copy+Paste on it changes anything. Did I discover this bug? Did I write
this one-liner to fix it? As it happens, yes and yes, but suppose I didn't: would you
then really be legally barred from fixing this bug, forever doomed to preserve the
incorrect behavior in the kernel because someone who didn't have the "right" to
tell you how to fix it told you how to fix it? Good grief.
It seems like you are unaware of this part of history:
