For anything with legal implications, yes. Those include copyright assertions at top of files, and Signed-Off-By statements. Nothing you've contributed *really* requires that; the updates from you are (so far) minor enough that I'm asking more for clarity than of necessity. > I don't want to sound like a prima donna here, but for privacy reasons, I'm > quite happy with using an alias rather than my real name for anything that > is meant to stay on the internet, and I would prefer keeping it that way. > > Now, if you just want more "legally sounding" name, I'm sure I can come up > with something... No; the issue is just wanting to be sure the copryight status of the code doesn't get muddied to the point where it can't clearly be licensed. Projects, like the Linux kernel, which want to keep that status clear do not accept pseudonymous attributions for contributed code. - Dave _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
