FW: [openib-general] Minutes from DAPL BOF at OpenIB Workshop

[Woodruff, Robert J]

Hi Arkady,

As I mentioned in the BOF, I have a person (Arlin Davis) that can help
with
developing a uDAPL provider for the openib.org verbs. 
After discussing it more
with folks here, is seems to us that perhaps for the uDAPL user-mode
library,  it be provided to openib.org under a dual BSD + LGPL library
rather than a BSD + GPL since people normally want to use LGPL for 
libraries. 

Also, I think that we can go ahead and start porting using the BSD 
license available from sourceforge today. Once the port is complete,
we can submit it to openib.org under the dual license and submit 
any changes back to the main sourceforge project under the BSD license,
or you can simply accept the changes under the BSD license,
thus for uDAPL there is no need to wait for the expanded licensing terms
of
the sourceforge project.

Once the user-mode verbs, user-mode CM, SA support is available from
openib.org, 
we can get started. If this is OK with folks, I'll have Arlin start to
take a look
at this.

Sound OK ?
