I'm concerned about the licensing implications on moving the code. 
Most of the source code hosted on kernel.org is GPL-only (the sparse 
repository is the only one I know of that is not).

If the code is moved, how can the OpenFabrics community be guaranteed 
that the entire software stack will remain under a dual BSD/GPL 
license?

If the only goal is to use git, git can be setup on an OpenFabrics 
server.
