Given that 2.1.2 appears to override 2.1.1 in the context of this SW, why even include 2.1.1? I know we're re-using the L4T license here, but I'd really prefer to just use something plain and simple that doesn't include irrelevant lawyer-speak. > +No Rental.

IANAL, but that doesn't sound GPL compatible, since it's an additional restriction that I don't think the GPL imposes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
