<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D">Those links are not related to the Windows NVMe driver, those were there before we entered the picture. Adding Jim to the email to comment/forward issues there. As far as the NVMe driver goes,
the license is included in the files themselves at the top of each one right after the copyright. I’m not a legal person but I don’t think we make an attempt to refer to a version or any other extension of what’s below. AKAIK this is simply known as “the
2 clause license”. I can hunt down some legal help if needed, let me know if this answers your question<o:p></o:p></span></p>
