dt-bindings: clock: qcom: Relicense to GPL2 + BSD

[PATCH v1] dt-bindings: clock: qcom: Relicense to GPL2 + BSD

Posted by Robert Foss 3 years, 11 months ago

Qualcomm has given permission for all the dt-bindings to be dual
licensed. All of the Linaro authored bindings are easy to change, in
terms of the permissions & copyrights, so they've been bundled in this
commit.

Additionally clean up the syntax of some of the copyright statements.

There are more Qcom bindings that should have the license updated
to GPL2+BSD, but since they haven't been authored or copyrighted
by Linaro, I think I'll have to hunt down the authors individually.

At least these 3 have contributors outside Qualcomm and Linaro.
Doesn't this mean you would still need to contact all of them
and see if they are fine with relicensing their contribution?

I don't want to make this more complicated than necessary, but it's
probably better to be careful when it comes to licensing stuff...

(Although personally I think it feels a bit weird to discuss copyright
 for a bunch of "numbered names"...)

Thanks,
Stephan

Yes. Though I think you could draw the line at some number of lines. 
This is what I use to get # of lines by email:

git blame -e include/dt-bindings/clock/qcom,rpmcc.h | sed -e 's/.*<\(.*\)>.*/\1/' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Indeed.
