A new file for the kernel's Documentation directory explaining how we feel our copyright should be enforced.
If lkml.org isn't up and running (it's a flaky box), here's a copy of my pull request that should provide you will all of the needed information about this file:
-------------
Documentation: Add a file explaining the requested Linux kernel license enforcement policy
Here's a pull request to add a new file to the kernel's Documentation directory.
It adds a short document describing the views of how the Linux kernel community
feels about enforcing the license of the kernel.
The patch has been reviewed by a large number of kernel developers already, as
seen by their acks on the patch, and their agreement of the statement with
their names on it. The location of the file was also agreed upon by the
Documentation maintainer, so all should be good there.
For some background information about this statement, see this article
written by some of the kernel developers involved in drafting it:
http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement/
and this article that answers a number of questions that came up in the
discussion of this statement with the kernel developer community:
http://kroah.com/log/blog/2017/10/16/linux-kernel-community-enforcement-statement-faq/
If anyone has any further questions about it, please let me, and the TAB
members, know and we will be glad to help answer them.
-------------
And here's a link to the patch itself with the initial set of acks and the document, and the developers who agree with it.

I've compiled a list of what I consider the 5 most powerful +Arm boards available now or in early 2018, which includes solutions from +NVIDIA, +Marvell Semiconductor, Inc., +Qualcomm, +Kirin Hisilicon, and +Socionext US.

Which version of GPL version 2 are you using for your project? There's so many to choose from!
Great bunch of research here from Philippe Ombredanne of nexB.

Want to send some patches to the Linux kernel? I used Coccinelle to find then and else statements that are identical. Coccinelle found 80 candidates. The output is here , and the coccinelle script: @@ statement S; @@ -if (...) - S -else - S + S

Good stuff from the netfilter team about the kernel GPLv2 license and a copyright troll.
