Open Items - Licensing – an OFA Software user wants and answer to this
question:

 

Is there a scenario where the kernel driver sources can ever be used in a
non-GPL scenario?  Specifically, if you compile any of the OFED kernel
driver sources in either a kernel.org kernel or a distro kernel (or any
derivative of a kernel.org kernel), they become GPL -- regardless of whether
the person who downloaded OFED said "I declare this download to be BSD!" or
"I declare this download to be GPL!"

 

If there's no case where the kernel driver sources distributed in OFED can
ever be used with anything other than GPL, is there a reason to dual-license
them?

 

 

Next Meeting: September 14, 2015

 

Thanks

 

Rupert
