[PATCH] ARM: mvebu: dove: Relicense the device tree under GPLv2+/X11

Sebastian Hesselbarth sebastian.hesselbarth at gmail.com
Mon Apr 27 02:09:04 PDT 2015


The current implicit GPL only licensing on the device tree makes it
very impractical for other software components licensed under another
license.

In order to make it easier for them to reuse our device trees,
relicense our device trees under a GPL/X11 dual-license.

Hi,

with Dove we only have a small set of people who can be git blame'd for
the DT files:
- Jason Cooper
- Ezequiel Garcia
- Andrew Lunn
- Jean-Francois Moine
- Russell King
- Myself

so I decided to keep the whole relicensing in a single patch. Please send
your Acked-by's in reply to this patch if you are happy with the relicensing.

Thanks,
  Sebastian
