I agree with Jani. No matter how the decision ends, since I can't help here, I'd
rather not show up in the copyright.

Is there something specific you are asking us to do here?


I have lost the overview, but there was a patch Mauro added a
kernel_abi.py. There was my name (Markus Heiser) listed with a
copyright notation.

I guess Mauro picked up some old RFC or an other old patch of
mine from 2016 and made some C&P .. whatever .. ATM I do not have
time to give any support on parsing ABI and I'am not interested
in holding copyrights on a C&P of a old source ;)

Well, the code was basically written by you :-)

It was written to be a script capable of running a generic
script. On that time, my contribution to it was basically
to hardcode it to run "get_abi.pl".

Thanks for clarifying.


This came from an old branch where the last change was back in 2017.
It was resurrected due to a discussion at KS ML.

There, the discussion was related to what's left to be converted
to ReST.

While I can't simply remove your copyright, would you be happy
with something like that?

Yes, but basically I share Jani's and Jon's doubts about this solution.

Thanks,
