Based on legal's prior response, they are not fixated upon MIT license, so the BSD-2-Clause license would be fine too; they indicated that even "public domain" would be fine, except that they don't have a boilerplate header for that, and it's not suitable since not recognized everywhere, so weren't going to actually recommend that. I asked legal about arbitrary files in include/dt-bindings/ in the Linux kernel tree, so I believe their response is a blanket one for all such files, including [1] below. For any future similar issues, then Thierry Reding or Jonathan Hunter (both CC'd) are the people to follow up with. For their context, they can see nvbug 2426449. > There's another header relicensing now[1], gpio.h, which NVIDIA contributed to. > > Rob > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220825104505.79718-1-etienne.carriere@xxxxxxxxxx/ (My apologies if Outlook mangles this message or interferes with the mailing list...) -- nvpublic
