perftest proprietary files

perftest proprietary files

[Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin]

Hi,

While packaging perftest for SUSE, I discovered that some files have headers
 declaring the software as Mellanox proprietary while the COPYING declares LGPL/BSD.

The files are:
* Makefile.am
* Makefile.in
* configure.ac

Should these headers be dropped ?

(I pinged zoharb about this already without much luck. Figured it might be worth a shot here)

Hi Nicolas,


I've verified your issue, 
Mellanox provide perftest to be under gpl/bsd license.
since Mellanox is the maintainer and release perftest as an open source SW it still can have copyrights on each file that was written or approved by its developers,
So the headers should remain and declared as Mellanox propriety.

Hope is helps you.

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.

# provided with the software product.
# $COPYRIGHT$
# $HEADER$
#

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

It would be best practice for this commit to be ammended to have
Signed-off-by line from someone at mellanox before applying it.

Re: perftest proprietary files

[Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin]

Hi,

This is what I meant.
I agree Mellanox has all right to keep their copyright in, but in the current form, it kinda prevents redistribution of the compilation files.

Adding a GPL (or BSD) with the Mellanox copyright clears up things.
