If someone sends patches to MIT license the work I've done, I'll be
happy to ack it. It's only recently that I've been aware of the fact
that MIT licensed was a thing in the kernel. I was under the impression
that all new code should be GPL and MIT were for code imported from
elsewhere. I would love to see my work being used on the BSD's.
