Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 22:30:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180425203703.568152337@linutronix.de> (raw)

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is
BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license
extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the
OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.

The license text was copied from:

    https://spdx.org/licenses/Linux-OpenIB.html#licenseText
