Maybe not so off-tropic, Linus have talked precisely about that today: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/linuxcon-rountable-torvalds-quotes On documentation: “In the kernel we have this sign-off process, where patches as they flow through people are supposed to be signed off. And we had legal reasons for doing it initially, and the legal reasons have kind of gone away because nobody worries about SCO very much anymore. But it turns out it’s a really nice flow process, where people actually see how code came in, so it’s nice, and I’m seeing that in a number of non-kernel projects too. So I think there may not be a lot of documentation about how the kernel does it, but I think a lot of open source people do see the kernel model and it actually ends up being, the same way there’s this Unix mindset of how things are supposed to work, I think the kernel model has actually become this mindset of how open source projects are supposed to work, at least for a subset of projects out there.” Best regards, Jean-Christian de Rivaz _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
