Thanks for joining this discussion. I *guess* the rationale is to share
the same device tree with projects that are incompatible with the GPL
(e.g. *BSD). Even if there is no support for a particular device/board
having all (or most) files dual licensed makes it easier to just pull
them all in.

Cheers,
Christopher
