Last week, Phoronix broke a story about the kernel DRM group over at FreeDesktop.org submitting a pull request for their code of conduct to be included in the kernel docs for the DRM subsystem. The next day it was merged.

I'm particularly interested in if they think this will keep Linus from saying hurtful things to them over lousy code. Discuss.

    I wonder how often Linus gets called Linux :-)

    It would have been funny if Linus had named his kernel "Freeix" like he wanted, and everyone called him Fritz Torvalds instead.

    Maybe less often then I see people referring to Linux as Linus where I work. That happens practically every day.
