Neil, nice to e-meet you :) Please let me know if I can do anything in order to promote this task. >I realized the COPYING file (just like the headers in the source files) >is somewhat contradictory: >/* > * Copyright (C) Mellanox Technologies Ltd. 2001-2013.

I’ve checked this matter with our legal department. Since libvma package is dual licensed: GPLv2 or proprietary license, we think that the wording in the COPYING and in the sources files is correct and accurate. Notice that this approach is common in the industry, see for example the license of MYSQL: http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/licensing/oem/ PS: I will send an updated package soon.
