That's a blocker I'm afraid. So how do you propose to solve the situation, in which my driver is rejected, but another persor takes it, makes changes (btw breaking it), and presents it as their own, and it's accepted? This is a paid work and I'm required to put in my employer's copyright over the code. I could have made this error once - but no more. The code will be mergeable, as I already wrote. Why would I bother otherwise? But I cannot let that history to repeat itself. --=20 Krzysztof Ha=C5=82asa Sie=C4=87 Badawcza =C5=81ukasiewicz Przemys=C5=82owy Instytut Automatyki i Pomiar=C3=B3w PIAP Al.
