This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/" but only part of it (to begin with). In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents for those which are not yet translated. In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/", I added a sphinx label to those which had not one. Translated documents: - howto - 1.Intro - clang-format - coding-style - kernel-driver-statement - magic-number - volatile-considered-harmful - development-process Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga <federico.vaga@vaga.pv.it> Signed-off-by: Alessia Mantegazza <amantegazza@vaga.pv.it> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

Linux Kernel Enforcement Statement
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As developers of the Linux kernel, we have a keen interest in how our software
|
|
is used and how the license for our software is enforced. Compliance with the
|
|
reciprocal sharing obligations of GPL-2.0 is critical to the long-term
|
|
sustainability of our software and community.
|
|
|
|
Although there is a right to enforce the separate copyright interests in the
|
|
contributions made to our community, we share an interest in ensuring that
|
|
individual enforcement actions are conducted in a manner that benefits our
|
|
community and do not have an unintended negative impact on the health and
|
|
growth of our software ecosystem. In order to deter unhelpful enforcement
|
|
actions, we agree that it is in the best interests of our development
|
|
community to undertake the following commitment to users of the Linux kernel
|
|
on behalf of ourselves and any successors to our copyright interests:
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the termination provisions of the GPL-2.0, we agree that
|
|
it is in the best interests of our development community to adopt the
|
|
following provisions of GPL-3.0 as additional permissions under our
|
|
license with respect to any non-defensive assertion of rights under the
|
|
license.
|
|
|
|
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
|
|
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
|
|
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
|
|
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
|
|
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
|
|
60 days after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
|
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
|
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
|
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
|
|
your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
Our intent in providing these assurances is to encourage more use of the
|
|
software. We want companies and individuals to use, modify and distribute
|
|
this software. We want to work with users in an open and transparent way to
|
|
eliminate any uncertainty about our expectations regarding compliance or
|
|
enforcement that might limit adoption of our software. We view legal action
|
|
as a last resort, to be initiated only when other community efforts have
|
|
failed to resolve the problem.
|
|
|
|
Finally, once a non-compliance issue is resolved, we hope the user will feel
|
|
welcome to join us in our efforts on this project. Working together, we will
|
|
be stronger.
|
|
|
|
Except where noted below, we speak only for ourselves, and not for any company
|
|
we might work for today, have in the past, or will in the future.
