To fix this, and make our device tree usable by other software components, relicense them under a GPLv2/X11 dual-license. In order to get this accepted, we *need* all contributors to the Vybrid device tree files to send an ack to the patches applying on a file they contributed on. I think some Freescale email addresses are not valid anymore, can someone from Freescale make an ack on their behalf?
