[PATCH] fdisk.c: major whitespace/style cleanup

[Jason Schoon]

Wow, treading on legal territory that I admit is still a bit fuzzy, and I am
of course not a lawyer, but I'm not sure you are able to force those licence
requirements.  The original is GPL, and thus any derivatives are as well.
So, anyone looking at the code could choose to accept it under terms of the
GPL and feel free to modify it.

Now, I have absolutely no problem with you as maintainer of the applet
wanting all changes run by you first.  That is very in-line with how the
Linux kernel works.  However, I'm not sure we yet have a clear list of who
actively maintains applets.  Until that exists, how do potential
contributers know who to contact?  The original author, the last modifier,
the lastest person to check a change into SVN?

Just some thoughts...
