Yes I am now completely lost :-) Where have I changed the licensing model? Your original request was to remove the CREDITS line I think. I have done that in this patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/197314/ The above discussion about copyright message is separate to that. I was looking around the code base for a possible replacement (shorter) message because I thought that was what you were looking for. I found the BSD one, but have not changed any code to use it. So yes, please can you explain what I am missing here?
