> Slave names, really?
It's a common way that pseudonym aficionados refer to their civil names. Gallows humor.
> You can lie about your name, I suppose, but strictly speaking you're violating the stated rules and could face having your code rejected or removed: "code from anonymous (or pseudonymous) contributors will not be accepted"
And yet it won't be rejected or removed. The preceding sentence is "It is imperative that all code contributed to the kernel be legitimately free software." If you don't betray the project, nobody will make it a problem.
