Subject: [PATCH] uapi: Add the BSD-2-Clause license to ndctl.h
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2019 10:55:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191025175553.63271-1-d.scott.phillips@intel.com> (raw)
Allow ndctl.h to be licensed with BSD-2-Clause so that other
operating systems can provide the same user level interface.
---
I've been working on nvdimm support in FreeBSD and would like to
offer the same ndctl API there to ease porting of application
code. Here I'm proposing to add the BSD-2-Clause license to this
header file, so that it can later be copied into FreeBSD.
I believe that all the authors of changes to this file (in the To:
list) would need to agree to this change before it could be
accepted, so any signed-off-by is intentionally ommited for now.
Thanks,
Scott
