I think that's the best way to document the licensing situation for a project that hasa few different licenses. The catchall in this format also gives a good statement on what the default for the repository should be. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
