We ask for new DT contents to be added with dual BSD/GPL license, to
allow for reuse of the DT data structures in other projects as well.
There's currently a lot of activity going on relicensing the current
files so I recommend sorting it out before they are added if you can.
This may take more time than you think. I am going to have to go through
legal to get such a license created. Also, why would you need dual license?
If it is BSD that should serve both purposes?
I haven't followed the discussion close enough to know if there's been
discussion about single-license BSD vs dual BSD/GPL.
I think for all practical purposes, BSD and dual BSD/GPL is the same and
listing it as dual was meant as a clarification to make it easier to see
that all files in the kernel are GPLv2 compatible.
A dual BSD/GPL may involve having me get a lawyer to create such a
header. I would prefer to leave it as GPL for now until some concrete
decision has finally been made on this by the rest of the community?
Or, I can put it as BSD right now if that helps?
I would prefer a pure BSD header for the moment over a pure GPL header.
The last thing we want is to force other operating systems to create
another set of dts files for the same hardware.
I have changed the headers to pure BSD. I hope this is acceptable.
