Some other folks like > Qualcomm, and TI (see http://review.omapzoom.org/) have adopted it Unfortunately, it seems quite unsuitable for kernel. Do I understand it right that to submit kernel patches I'd have to agree to "contributors agreement", and give up my copyright? No, sorry, I don't think I want to do that. (I may be willing to do that for Android proper -- after studying the agreement carefully, but not for GPLed kernel code).
