[PATCH v2] ARM: mvebu: dove: Relicense the device tree under GPLv2/X11

Sebastian Hesselbarth sebastian.hesselbarth at gmail.com
Fri May 1 14:07:49 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 GPLv2/X11 dual-license.
