Hi Doug, the RDMA code was developed for a GPLed driver and moved to the code, and lots of people contributed to it under the GPL, as they assumed Linux code in genral is. =D0=86f dual-licensing is possible at all it = would require a lot of work, which I don't think is worth it. If you don't want GPL code in the core rdma.ko module we can move it to a rdma-gpl.k= o module, but that would be a little bit odd. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" i= n the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
