AFAIR it's not a legal entity, and I believe Qiang can simply replace
"Lima Project" with his name in kernel driver. I don't think that
anyone else
made contribution to the kernel driver that is significant enough to
copyright it.

Luc Verhaegen may hold copyright for REed data structures if there're
any in kernel driver - but I believe only userspace parts took
something from limare.
