Does it? I couldn't seem to find anything about that. The closest I could find was https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html#licensing https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html#... which says > Copyright assignments are not required (or requested) for code contributed to the kernel. All code merged into the mainline kernel retains its original ownership; as a result, the kernel now has thousands of owners. and then goes on to explain exactly how that prevents re-licensing. I suppose the possible nitpick is if CLA == copyright assignment; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contributor_License_Agreement seems to agree with my existing impression that there's little functional difference.
