I've added licensing-VjfpZJbb0kk@public.gmane.org in Cc: in my previous message to have an advice on this subject, but I failed to notice licensing-dGWS0fDw8IM@public.gmane.org is not a mailing list: I was assigned request ID [gnu.org #1017262]. Regards.They're also not an unbiased source. Their job is to reply "you should license it under GPLv3" without actually looking at your message. (This is a slight oversimplification, they may instead recomend the GFDL. They will never _not_ recommend one of their licenses.)
Actually, I got FSF to change license on piece of code from GPLv2 to LGPLv2 before. They are not completely evil :-).
Personally, I'm sad we're starting to get ACPI for arm but if device tree data files are only available under GPL, people will hold their nose and deploy ACPI.
