Guidelines for research on the kernel community
As part of the response to last year's UMNfiasco, Kees Cook and a group of collaborators have put together a setof guidelines for researchers who are studying how the kernel-developmentcommunity (or any development community, really) works. That document hasjust been merged intothe mainline as part of the 5.18 merge window.
This document seeks to clarify what the Linux kernel communityconsiders acceptable and non-acceptable practices when conductingsuch research. At the very least, such research and relatedactivities should follow standard research ethics rules.
