Dear Stephen,

Can you please get rid of this "All rights reserved." ?
Sorry, that is the format I'm required to use by NVIDIA legal.
To address your next question, "all rights reserved" is 100% compatible with OSS licenses. Equally, the phrase already exists throughout both the U-Boot and Linux kernel code-base (just a couple of prominent examples) for both NVIDIA's copyright notices, and those of many other prominent entities such as The Linux Foundation, Red Hat, Intel, The Chromium OS Authors, etc.
Yes, I know these arguments. But actually this is b*llsh*t. Is there really no chance to drop that?

The primary purpose of this patch-set isn't to clean up copyright notices. As such, where I added new copyright notices I followed the format that NVIDIA legal requests me to. However, where I simply edited the date in existing notices I didn't do any other cleanup.
Well, obviously other people were either notrequested to add this "All rights reserved." phrase, or found other ways to avoid it.
Can you please try to do the same?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
