hverkuil: I think I wait for the next merging cycle for the DMA change... there are still some discussions about the patchset
probably it is safer to wait for a while before merging it
[15:33]
pinchartlmchehab: thanks for the documentation licensing explanation
mchehab: what's the DMA change ?
[15:34]
mchehabjust merged v4.20-rc7
Patchwork: http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/53477/
[15:35]
pinchartlah that one [15:35]
mchehabChristoph Hellwig made some comments after the pull request
(last email about that was on Fri)
sailus: Just updated the text at:https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_submit_patches#License_on_documentation_files
as you pointed, the licencing text there were GPL2+, where the text were mentioning just GPL 2
I corrected the test to be just GPL 2
(of course, GPL2+ would equally work - but the minimum requirement for uAPI is dual licensed GPL2 or GFDL
pinchartl: thnks for mentioning about licensing... I forgot to do this change on Friday :-)
[15:36]
pinchartlyou're welcome :-)
is the GPL 2.0(+) recommendation for everything other than uAPI a kernel-wide recommendation, or is it specific to media ?
[15:41]
mchehabpinchartl: it is kernel-wide
(not sure if documented or not)
it is related to include stuff from Kernel headers into documentation
[15:46]
pinchartldo you know why GPL is preferred over GFDL ? [15:48]
mchehabthey're not compatible
if you include something from a GPL code into a GFDL, you may have troubles
[15:48]
pinchartlwhat would you include ? [15:50]
mchehab(not sure if defining GFDL without invariant sections would change that)
.. kernel-doc
[15:50]
pinchartlI mean, assuming a new (L)GPL-based project, is GFDL a bad pick for documentation ? [15:50]
mchehabI guess so [15:50]
pinchartlthe kernel-doc comments could be licensed under the GFDL though [15:51]
mchehabon a new project, I would likely go throug a CC for documentation (using one that it is GPL compatible) [15:51]
pinchartl(I know they are not, I mean from a theoretical point of view) [15:51]
mchehabanyway, IANAL... better to ask it to someone with legal knowledge if you have doubts [15:52]
pinchartlsure. I was just wondering [15:52]
mchehabI guess I would just dual-license GPL and CC sharealike on newer projects [15:54]
sailus: btw, that wrong GPL 2+ cut-and-paste text at wiki were also present on some docs I wrote that I made dual licensed
just submitted a fix
[16:01]
....................................... (idle for 3h14mn)
@all: I should submit a PR for 4.21 early this week
Linus is asking for such early submission
so, if are there anything that still deserves 4.21, please let me know asap
(I'll likely do it tomorrow)
