I'm not really uncomfortable. You are free to consider my submissions to be covered by GPLv3 or LGPLv3 and integrate them into seabios as you did. So "in spirit" I agree to the DCO. I just think that being picky is right when talking about license stuff and being picky some files not having a copyright might be problematic. And as pointed out earlier on this list[1], this is not only about vgasrc/svgamodes.c. > We do try to make the copyrights and submission process transparent. > I don't feel the license or process has been unclear. If you think that the semantic you formalized in your change was in effect already before, then Gerd's mail to that topic[2] was at least incomplete. I asked about clarifying the semantic and didn't understand Matt's reply as to also apply to seabios but instead thought he describes the semantic for the kernel only and for seabios the semantic was only what Gerd described. So my S-o-b was given -- while right by intend -- wrong by the letter. > The DCO was > indirectly documented before via the QEMU documentation: > https://www.seabios.org/Contributing > states the process follows: > http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch > The SeaBIOS license is in the COPYING and COPYING.LESSER files in the > git repo. So a contributor can select himself if he wants GPL or LGPL?
