No, use previous patch.
I am annoyed that you keep making changes even for such trivialities and
require re-review from the community. Previous patch was correct. This
one doing whatever you want to do in copyrights is too much. You don't
change copyrights just because you wrote one device model.
Krzysztof,
FYI here is the guidance I received from Qualcomm legal (links to internal
documentation, removed -- I've forwarded the entire e-mail to your Qualcomm
mailbox):
As I explained already more than once, legal can engage in open source
discussions directly. I am not going to discuss with them via proxies.
... Repos under copyleft license [...] QTI copyright must be added when we
make significant changes.
... Repos under friendly license (BSD, Apache, MIT, ...) [...] QTI copyright
must be added for any changes, not just significant ones.
... under the regular QUIC to QTI open-source copyright transitioning [...]
all QUIC Copyright instances should be replaced with year-less QTI OSS Copyright.
I'll follow up with them on this case where there is a dual-license file.
You nicely removed the quote where they ask to follow what the upstream
maintainer asks for. So as one of the maintainers I ask not to change
it, because it is churn and pointless waste of my time.
Although I feel the latest patch correctly represents Qualcomm legal guidance,
I'm not going to insist upon the copyright change.
will use previous DT binding patch (v2) in the next version.
