[openfabrics-ewg] license issues

[Tziporet Koren]

Hi Shawn,

All the code contains this copyright (since Roland has touched almost
all files :-) and touching all the C code now to replace it is too
risky.

Roland please replace the copyright of Topspin with Cisco in the trunk
and the changes will be in 1.1 release.

Shawn - we can add in the RN some sentence saying that any copyright
references of Topspin is really for Cisco Systems, Inc.

Do you want me to add it?

Here are the most problematic files in the distribution.  These files
only contain a GPL and no BSD license:

    branches/1.0/src/userspace/srptools/src/srp-dm.c
    branches/1.0/src/userspace/srptools/src/srp-dm.h

These files contain only a BSD license and no GPL:

    branches/1.0/src/userspace/libehca/src/ehca_uclasses.h
    branches/1.0/src/userspace/libehca/src/ehca_u_mrmw.c
    branches/1.0/src/userspace/libehca/src/ehca_uinit.c
    branches/1.0/src/userspace/libehca/src/ehca_everbs.h

Could the people responsible for those files fix them?  Incidentally, is
the eHCA driver currently being tested?  Who is doing that?  What is its
current status?

The top level COPYING file for the kernel code has the appropriate dual
license.  This emulates the Linux kernel.  But it also contains the
following copyrights:

    Copyright (c) 2004 Infinicon Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    Copyright (c) 2004 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    Copyright (c) 2004 Mellanox Technologies Ltd.  All rights reserved.
    Copyright (c) 2004 Topspin Corporation.  All rights reserved.
    Copyright (c) 2004 Voltaire Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Since those copyrights do not apply to all files, it would be more
appropriate to remove the copyrights from the COPYING file since the
files below all have individual copyrights.  Does anyone see issues with
that?

Johann
