[Ofa_boardplus] OFED license statement

[Coulter, Susan K]

We should state clearly that the linux kernel code is GPLv2 - not leave that up to interpretation because the code does not function without the GPLv2 files.

As of 12:41 Mountain Time on March 6, the motion reads:


> The OFA accepts the nature of Linux kernel space code as GPLv2 and user space as dual-licensed (GPLv2 and BSD) and approves the release of OFED 3.18-2 with the following text included in a README.license file.
> 
> "OFED is distributed as a source tarball and includes both user space and Linux kernel space code.  The Linux kernel space code contains some dual-licensed files and some GPLv2-only files, resulting in a kernel space product that is licensed GPLv2.  All user space code, however, is dual licensed (GPLv2 and BSD)."
