Subject: [PATCH] module: preferred way to use MODULE_AUTHOR
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:16:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1251450984.3456.3.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
For the longest time now we've been using multiple
MODULE_AUTHOR() statements when a module has more
than one author, but the comment here disagrees.
