[openfabrics-ewg] Request for assistance from DWG

The BSD+GPL can only apply to code developed by us.
Backport headers, list.h and iproute2 are not our code and can not be "corrected".


Quoting Woodruff, Robert J <robert.j.woodruff at intel.com>:
Subject: Request for assistance from DWG

I have added the appropriate maintainers to this thread
and sending it to the open fabrics email lists.

Tziporet for OFED (mutex-backport.h file used by OFED) 
Bryan for ipath
Vladimir for ipoib tools
Steve for cxgb3 driver <mailto:openfabrics-ewg at openib.org> 
 
All please review the list of GPL only files that are (or were in your
components before 
we moved to git) and please correct the code so that meets the BSD+GPL
requirements 
that we all agreed to when we joined openfabrics, if you have not done
so already. 
 
Thanks 
woody

Bob, 

Thanks for the reply. Attached below is a list of files that we believe
have only a GPL license (the list was generated on 12/5/06). As I
mentioned in my last note, the search wasn't exhaustive so there may be
others.  During the time we also noticed that there were some
utility-type files (e.g. files used for extraction, make or build) that
were GPL only. I'm assuming the DWG will decide if these should be dual
licensed or be placed on the exception list. Lastly I suspect there are
files that only have a BSD license - i.e. no GPL. While personally
that's less worrisome, going strictly by the Bylaws I would suspect
those should be corrected also. 

Thanks for your help to get this corrected!
