Hi Greg, Reading this story about Qualcomm lawyers shooting DMCA takedown requests lightly against github projects:
http://linux.slashdot.org/story/14/07/04/1455200/qualcomm-takes-down-100-github-repositories-with-dmca-notice http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTczNDU https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2014-07-02-Qualcomm.md It appears to me that the mere presence of those lines in Linux staging: grep -r "Qualcomm" . |grep -i "rights" ./drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_usb.c: * CopyRight (C) 2007 Qualcomm Inc. All Rights Reserved. ./drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_download.c:* CopyRight (C) 2007 Qualcomm Inc. All Rights Reserved. ./drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_hw.c:/* CopyRight (C) 2007 Qualcomm Inc. All Rights Reserved. might be contradicting the Dual MPL/GPL license expressed by MODULE_LICENSE() for those files. Perhaps we should ask some clarification on licensing of those files to Qualcomm ?
