>> "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).”
