Hi Doug, the RDMA code was developed for a GPLed driver and moved to the code, and lots of people contributed to it under the GPL, as they assumed Linux code in genral is. Іf dual-licensing is possible at all it would require a lot of work, which I don't think is worth it. If you don't want GPL code in the core rdma.ko module we can move it to a rdma-gpl.ko module, but that would be a little bit odd. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- 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
