This is noted in the commits which first imported implementations from 
Arm Optimized Routines (020b199bc70d and earlier):

  "Note that for simplicity Arm have chosen to contribute this code
   to Linux under GPLv2 rather than the original MIT license."

Apologies for the confusion - I should have mentioned that to Joey 
beforehand, if I hadn't completely forgotten about it. I think it's just 
been implicit that we'd continue to follow the same approach going forward.

Thanks,
Robin.
