[openib-general] Code with questionable license in OpenIB tree

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

Hi, Michael -

I have found some code in the OpenIB Subversion repo that appears to
have been committed by you, and which has Mellanox proprietary licenses
in the header files.

Most of the files in the src/userspace/imgen directory contain the
following boilerplate text:

         *                  - Mellanox Confidential and Proprietary -
         *
         * Copyright (C) July 2002, Mellanox Technologies Ltd. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
         *
         * Except as specifically permitted herein, no portion of the information,
         * including but not limited to object code and source code, may be reproduced,
         * modified, distributed, republished or otherwise exploited in any form or by
         * any means for any purpose without the prior written permission of Mellanox
         * Technologies Ltd. Use of software subject to the terms and conditions
         * detailed in the file "LICENSE.txt".

There is no LICENSE.txt file in that portion of the tree.  The only file
by that name anywhere in the tree is a copy of the Common Public License
in src/userspace/dapl/LICENSE.txt.  However, it is not at all clear that
this is the license that you intended to reference.

I would appreciate a modification of the licensing language on those
files, to something that is more in line with the rest of the openib.org
tree (i.e. open to free redistribution and modification).

Regards,
