Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 8/9] batman-adv: Change batman_adv.h license to MIT
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2017 15:05:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171119140517.24329-9-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171119140517.24329-1-sven@narfation.org>

The ISC license is considered as not recommended in "Linux kernel licensing
rules". It should only be used for existing code or for importing code from
a different project with that license.

But the kernel still has the similar sounding MIT/Expat license under the
preferred licenses. Switching to this license for this relatively new file
should therefore allow batman-adv to better follow the new licensing rules.

Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
