Me either thank God. Are those footers even enforceable? I mean, really, if someone mistakenly sends me their corporate financial numbers am I supposed to be under some legal obligation not to share it? I always assumed it was a scare tactic that lawyers like to use. To address the text of the footer, I'd say the "intended recipient(s)" are those on the "to" line which includes git@vger.kernel.org and the implicit use is for inclusion and distribution in the git source code. Anyway, I doubt I would have any influence on getting the footer removed. If Junio would rather me not submit patches with that footer, then I'd try to find a workaround. -Brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
