I'd argue that part (b) only applies if the s-o-b line is present in the original, otherwise I'm not sure how it's clear the author intended to publish their source under the license in question. That's why I've always beedn careful to go back and ask the original author to give their s-o-b, like you did. Some commits at least in the earlier Pi Foundation kernels also clearly had incorrect git author values, or were squashed together forms of multiple peoples' work:-( Luckily it's a moot point since Phil gave his s-o-b. Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren Does a similar bug exist in any other pinctrl drivers?
