I'm sure that Intel and Nokia legal departments need to get together to ensure that everything is properly handled, but that is outside the scope of this mailing list. What you should take away from this is you need to provide all of the information about the patch that is possible, instead of relying on people to drag it out of the submitter, wasting everyones time. good luck, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-kernel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-kernel
