2010-08-04Documentation: update broken web addresses.Justin P. Mattock
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

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.

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.
