Re: RFC: Starting a stable kernel series off the 2.6 kernel

In the 2.6.15-rc5 kernel we find:

data@amazon linux-2.6.15-rc5]$ find . -name *.[chS] | xargs grep -n "All rights reserved" | wc -l

932

[data@amazon linux-2.6.15-rc5]$ find . -name *.[chS] | xargs grep -n "Copyright" | wc -l

15083

But I do wonder how copyright and GPL can co-exist. Do the copyright holder own the changes anybody else does to the code?

Anyone care to explain?

Thanks
