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.

    It might be useful to mention that "DRM" in the context of the Linux kernel means "Direct Rendering Manager", as opposed to the more familiar "Digital Rights Management".

    Or as R.Stallman wisefully keeps reminding us, more accurately means: "Digital Restrictions Management"
