2004-05-19[PATCH] SubmittingDrivers completenessAndrew Morton
From: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> I noticed a patch went in to Documentation/SubmittingDrivers which tweaked the URL for KernelTraffic. Here's a self-serving patch which makes that section more complete; to be fair, I added two other sites too. Just in case it's useful.
2004-04-28[PATCH] Update kerneltraffic link in SubmittingDrivers and kernel-docs.txtAndrew Morton
From: Coywolf Qi Hunt <coywolf@greatcn.org> This updates the kerneltraffic url link found in Documentation/SubmittingDrivers and Documentation/kernel-docs.txt.
2004-03-18[PATCH] add note about "Copyright" to SubmittingDriversAndrew Morton
From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> This patch adds a comment to "Documentation/SubmittingDrivers" about the importance of adding a Copyright notice in submitted code. The parisc-linux port has neglected this in the past and I've been slowly trying to correct that (along with proper GPL header). While I make it sound like GPL is the "only" acceptable license, I'll leave it up to lawyers to determine what other appropriate license could be used for a new driver.

Also, switch the snail-mail address to OSDL from Transmeta. I'm sure they'll enjoy the junk-mail ;)
2003-02-05[PATCH] Spelling fixesSteven Cole
OK, here is the diff against 2.5.59-bk2, now up to 880 lines due to an additional misspelling which crept in the -bk2 snapshot. Fixes 'seperate' -> 'separate' and 'definate' -> 'definite'. Kernal codrs cna't spel.
