The current Ammasso RNIC driver is released under the GPL license now.  At
this point in time, its not openIB.  We intend to develop an open source
driver that plugs into the openIB framework and does _not_ implement
RNIC/PI.  And we'll provide this as a series of patches during development
to the openIB community for general review.
