eCos官方请求 mini2440 QEMU补丁，申请FSF成功，组织内的ecos代码已经了证书

很值得庆幸的消息啊

1.ecos官方对我们的mini2440 QEMU的补丁很感兴趣。希望我们能提交这个补丁

 

第一次给他们提交补丁遇到无数的问题。

Patch的格式和coding style我到没觉得有什么，只是我要申请FSF。

什么是FSF呢其实就是Free Software Foundation 

我们要有个书面的license，这时候其他人在用的时候就必须附带这个license了。

2. 遇到了困难

看了下面的这段话心都要碎了，我虽然一样填写了我的地址，但是如何才能收到这个证书，真的是个未知数。

 

Assignment procedure

To initiate a copyright assignment, please fill in an assignment request form and send it to [e-mail]. On receipt of your request, the FSF will prepare a legal copyright assignment document and send it to you via regular post. You will be asked to sign the document and return it to the FSF. On receipt of the signed document from you, the FSF will add their own signature, indicating acceptance of the copyright transfer. Finally, the FSF will e-mail you a copy of the executed document in PDF format.

In cases where your employer, or an academic institution where you study, might have a basis to claim copyright ownership on your contribution, you are required to indicate this when you request an assignment form. This applies to most eCos contributors. The FSF will then request a disclaimer from your company or academic institution.

Note that the eCos maintainers should be advised of all eCos-related copyright assignments by the FSF directly, but this communication can sometimes be delayed or lost. For this reason, please notify the eCos maintainers when you receive confirmation from the FSF that your copyright assignment has been executed.

 

接下来，还是比较庆幸的：

他们也想到了这一点，所以用了不同的流程来操作，看来还是有希望的。

 

 

3. eCos官方已经许可了我们重新发布的eCos代码，谢谢大家的支持
