Subject: [PATCH] License issue with rocket driver
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 11:47:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030606094759.GA20229@lst.de> (raw)

drivers/char/rocket{,_int}.h have an intereesting and gpl-incompatible
license.  Could you please fix it or remove the drier from the tree?
(given that mess that this driver is the latter might be the better
idea..)
