Subject: [Ofa_boardplus] OFED release/license motion


Motion on the floor:


> 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 3.18-3 with the following text included in the LICENSE.text file in OFED project root.
>
> "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).”
