Subject: [PATCH] COPYING: state that all contributions really are covered by this file
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 16:48:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200206154800.GA3754085@kroah.com> (raw)

Explicitly state that all contributions to the kernel source tree
really are covered under this COPYING file in case someone thought
otherwise.  Lawyers love to be pedantic, even more so than software
engineers at times, and this sentence makes them sleep easier.
