Re: perftest proprietary files

Hi Nicolas,

can Mellanox adjust the header of the files? Currently it says:

#
# Copyright (C) Mellanox Technologies Ltd. 2001-2011.  ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
# This software product is a proprietary product of Mellanox Technologies Ltd.
# (the "Company") and all right, title, and interest and to the software product,
# including all associated intellectual property rights, are and shall
# remain exclusively with the Company.
#
# This software product is governed by the End User License Agreement
# provided with the software product.
# $COPYRIGHT$
# $HEADER$
#

but since it is gpl/bsd (as you said), the header should read something like:

# Copyright (C) Mellanox Technologies Ltd. 2001-2011.  All rights
reserved.
