ok, thanks for the background, but still, squashing doesn't mean changing authorship and Christian has probably also warned you beforehand :-) "(Note: In some of the patches the "Author" in the commits is dissent1! So watch out before sending them off)" > Shouldn't the dev send the patch directly to me in order to be able to post > it on his behalf, like openwrt submitting patches guideline describes? From the kernel docs[1]: "The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file;" so in short, kernel is covered by GPLv2 which allows you to do this if you retain the authorship. 1. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#sign-your-work-the-developer-s-certificate-of-origin -- ynezz _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
