I have not asserted any copyright on the particular files. But I have extensively contributed to core kernel code for 20 years with the understanding that the license for the kernel code as a whole is under the GPL and that others will contribute like I did under the GPL. It certainly is a surprise to me that someone can change the license of parts of the kernel to allow non-GPL licensing. Never seen that before. I will assert that the modifications of the IB stack that I have contributed over the years (mostly in passes over the kernel to change functions globally) are under GPL only. In this case you are lucky that I never touched those files. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
