[openib-general] GPL only files in OFA repository

[Dhabaleswar Panda]

Hi Chet, 

Thanks for your note. Some of the files do not belong to
mvapich/mvapich2 directories.

Some of the other files come with the standard MPICH and MPICH2
distributions by Argonne. We are taking a closer look at these files.

Best Regards, 

DK
