Hello,
I apologize for this question being slightly off topic, but this
seemed like the best place to ask it. In the next day or two, I will be
releasing several kernel patches that were implemented as part of a
research project at the University of Kansas. These patches will be
released under the GPL, so that they can be incorporated into the
mainstream kernel, should they be deemed worthy. My question relates to
the how the various contributors should be acknowledged.
Part of the funding for this project was provided by Sprint
corporation. Obviously, they will be acknowledged in the web pages and
supporting documentation for these patches, but should they also be
acknowledged in the source files? Will acknowledging Sprint in the source
files pose any type of problem in regards to the patches being
incorporated into the mainstream kernel under the GPL?
Thank you
