I remember at one point I had a patch that added some "Signed-off-by:" is not about the context. For Linux kernel, it simply says that you release your code under GPL. You can't control how other people use it. That's the fundamental rule under the majority of OSS licenses. With any tools, you can't the rule. Your code could cause problems in a different context (you didn't expect), but it's not the responsibility of your code. I vote for git. It's much eaiser to try to get your changes merged into a project that uses git. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
