Yes, but for that we need to have the SPDX-Identifiers in place and the whole licensing mess of the kernel cleaned up. We're working on that, but that's a herculanean task. Btw, this was the third thing on that day which made me curse a certain Rusty dude. Guess what the other presents were which that guy left.... hotplug and futexes. Somehow that all that stuff sticks to me now and because that dude left into buzzword land I can't make him fix it anymore :) Thanks, tglx
