[openib-general] license mismatches

I had reviewed the licenses used by files in
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk.
The following .c and .h files do not match the OpenIB licenses:
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/tvflash/src/tvflash.c
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/tvflash/src/firmware.h
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/examples/aio/ttcp.aio.c
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/management/osm/complib/M
akefile.mlx
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/management/osm/opensm/os
m_indent

all files in directories:
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/mstflint/
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/mpi/

files in directory
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/libsdp/src/
have the right licenses but the copyright message does not match the
OpenIB copyright.

Several files do not have any licences, like Makefile, configure and map
files.
For example,
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/libibcm/src/libibcm.map
https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/userspace/libibcm/Makefile.am
I think this is OK.

I suspect that all these are oversites and all the files should be
available under both BSD and GPL2 licenses.

Thanks,
Arkady
