I am working with GB to seek guidance on non-standard license code in DPDK.

Standard Dual licensed code (GPL + BSD) is generally Legally OK. I am 
checking whether these files should be explicitly listed or not.
Many of the DPDK files in user space (which also exist in kernel) are 
dual licensed.

As a outcome of these discussions, we are hoping that techboard will be 
publishing the Licensing Guidelines.
