Following the ban of the UMN from contributing to Linux after some of its researchers introduced buggy patches, an apology has been issued today by the research team hoping to renew friendly terms.
The University of Minnesota (UMN) researchers – Kangjie Lu, the Assistant Professor, and Qiushi Wu, Aditya Pakki, the Ph.D. students – have on Saturday issued an open apology letter seeking to bury the hatchet with the Linux community for the things which had led to the events that took place a few days back. One of the lead Linux kernel developers and maintainers, Greg Kroah-Hartman put the ban-hammer on the UMN for intentionally putting forward buggy patches into the Linux kernel.
