A better question is whether they should even be solely under the GPL, thereby preventing their use with other operating systems such as the BSDs. I feel that people haven't properly thought through the implications with the DT files, and have just decided "the GPL is good enough for the time being." Well, if you have contributors to the DT files and you later want to include them with other operating systems which are not GPL licensed, then you have a problem. I've tried bringing this up with Grant on a couple of occasions, and so far I've been completely ignored. I'm intending to place my Cubox-i/Hummingboard DT files under the GPL and a non-GPL license which allows their re-use elsewhere - I haven't decided what the other license should be, but I'm considering the X11 license as that allows the broadest re-use of the DT files. As I see it, there is no "value" in restricting the DT files to be GPL only and if others find them helpful to use elsewhere, then that's what should happen. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
