[Ofa_boardplus] OFED license statement

[David Brean]

Seeking clarification on the motion:  The previous OFED releases contain a file called LICENSE.  Is the proposed text suggested as the contents of a file called README.license meant to replace the file called LICENSE?

By the way, as a result of the current state of the OFA stack, I think that current LICENSE file is somewhat useless.

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)."
