[PATCH v3 4/4] ARM: dts: imx6q-cm-fx6: Relicense under GPLv2/X11

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




From: Christopher Spinrath <christopher.spinrath@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

GPLv2-only devicetrees make reuse difficult for software components
licensed under a different license. In particular, the Utilite Pro
devicetree file (which includes imx6q-cm-fx6.dts) is already dual
licensed under GPLv2/X11.

Hence, relicense imx6q-cm-fx6.dts under GPLv2/X11 dual license.

Notes:
    Changes since v2:
     - fix typo in commit message
     - add Igor's Acked-By (replacing the Cc)
    
    Changes since v1:
     - new patch in v2; without it the dual licensed of the imx6q-utilite-pro.dts
       is not really useful because it includes imx6q-cm-fx6.dts.
