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

Hi Scott,
I agree to make the change if Dan and Vishal also agree. :-)
Thanks,

I have no problem with this change, but let's take the opportunity to
let SPDX do its job and drop the full license text.

This is fine by me too, barring the full license text vs. SPDX caveat
Dan mentions.
