Linus Adopts Enhanced Tracking Process

millette writes ""Under the enhanced kernel submission process, contributions to the Linux kernel may only be made by individuals who acknowledge their right to make the contribution under an appropriate open source license. The acknowledgement, called the DCO, tracks contributions and contributors. The DCO ensures that appropriate attribution is given to developers of original contributions and derivative works, as well to those contributors who receive submissions and pass them, unchanged, up the kernel tree. All contributors are called upon to "sign off" on a submission before it may be considered for inclusion in the kernel." From the press release. Also seen in the New York Times"

    A voice inside my car told me today
    their was a song of love they would not play
    he was black
    she was white
    a voice inside my car told me today

    Black stations / white stations
    break down the doors
    stand up and face the music
    this is 1984
    black stations / white stations
    feet on the floor
    dance on the ceiling with us
    this is 1984

    When I dream my dream in black & white
    trip the light fantastic through the night
    dance with me
    while they sleep
    when I dream my dream in black & white

    Black stations / white stations
    break down the doors
    stand up and face the music
    this is 1984

    If waves could speak
    I wonder what they'd say
    the tides are growing stronger everyday
    sink or swim
    let them in
    If words could speak
    I wonder what they'd say
