BTW, are you personally the copyright holder or your employer Codethink?
Depends on your contractual situation, but the former is less common.

Well, Codethink has nothing to do with this patch. This was a voluntary
work started before I joined Codethink, but then I joined Codethink and
found very little time to finish this. So finally now its done.

Hmm, why using your corporate email address then? This suggests a
different copyright situation.

Funnily, I just received this question internally: How can you tell
apart if someone sends a personal contribution via his/her employer
account from someone contributing on behalf of a company, thus with that
company holding the rights? I argued that no one would do the former to
prevent wrong accounting, but you just proved a counterexample. :)

There are numerous companies that do this, some create whole shell
orginizations in order to "hide" their kernel contributions for various
"interesting" reasons.

Fun stuff.  I suggest having your internal people talk to your lawyers,
they should know all about this (and if not, have those lawyers talk to
the LF lawyers...)

But that's not the issue here, we know Sudip :)
