PATCH 1/1 Documentation/media: uapi: Explicitly say there are no Invariant Sections
The GNU Free Documentation License allows for a work to specify Invariant Sections that are not allowed to be modified. (Debian considers that this makes such works non-free.)
The Linux Media Infrastructure userspace API documentation does not specify any such sections, but it also doesn't say there are none (as is recommended by the license text). Make it explicit that there are none.

From my side:
(I'm waiting for more SoBs before merging this)
I pinged some developers that don't use to listen to the media ML as often as they used to do, and to the sub-maintainers, via the sub-mainainers ML, and got some SoBs. Let me add them to this thread:

Hans:

Johannes:
"I think I didn't contribute to that documentation?
Anyway, just in case: I agree with the change to forbid adding invariant sections."
Ralph:
"I also do not think there is anything left in there which I contributed.
The original documentation up to 2002 probably is copyright of Convergence.
But I agree with the change to forbid adding invariant sections regarding anything in that documentation that might be my copyright."
Markus:
"Ralph> I also do not think there is anything left in there which I

The same is true for me.
I also agree with the change to forbid adding invariant sections regarding anything in that documentation that might be my copyright."

The original founders / authors / coders of LinuxDVB have signed off on this, and that is most important to me.
Are you still waiting for agreement from any contributors, or is this ready to apply?
Ben.

Ben Hutchings I'm always amazed by the number of people who take up solipsism because they heard someone else explain it. - E*Borg on alt.fan.pratchett
