Can you elaborate this more clearly? I can't see any legal character in
the changelogs or any RTEMS project files (except the copyright headers
and License statements). Nobody sells RTEMS, nobody assures the features
of RTEMS based on the Changelogs or the git logs. So what exactly do you
mean the "legal"?

Right. But there is no RTEMS contract. At least I did not sign any
(except the copyright stuff which has no special relationship the the
Changelogs).

wkr,
