As you know I've sent emails to various parties on licensing issues, as those issues are corrected we can update the tree and the copying summary. We've already had success correcting one mistake from Intel and Chelsio, thank you very much to those companies. It is important we clearly document the current situation so our downstreams can properly distribute this code.I sure that this question will sound dumb for you, but can we unify all code under OFA's licenses (dual-license)? I don't feel comfortable with this multi-license situation.
If this combined repo is intended to support the plumbing for the linux-rdma subsystem, then I think it must support code that is submitted under GPL only. Much of the tradition code can remain dual-license, but new provider code, for example, should be submit-able under GPL. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
