cover ARM: dts: vf610: relicense the device trees under GPLv2/X11

The GPLv2 license makes it impractical for other software components licensed under another license to use our device trees. To fix this, and make our device tree usable by other software components, relicense them under a GPLv2/X11 dual-license.

In order to get this accepted, we *need* all contributors to the Vybrid device tree files to send an ack to the patches applying on a file they contributed on.

I think some Freescale email addresses are not valid anymore, can someone from Freescale make an ack on their behalf?

The needed Acked-by by device tree are:

PATCH 1/4 ARM: dts: vf610: relicense vf???.dtsi under GPLv2/X11

GPLv2-only devicetrees make reuse difficult for software components licensed under a different license.

The consensus is that a GPL/X11 dual-license should allow all necessary uses, so relicense the vfxxx.dtsi, vf500.dtsi and vf610.dtsi files to this combination.

CCs were acquired using (updated some email addresses):
git shortlog -sne --no-merges arch/arm/boot/dts/vf???.dtsi

cover ARM: dts: vf610: relicense the device trees under GPLv2/X11

In reply to Stefan Agner

Hi,

[added latest email address of Matt Porter]

There are only a few Acks missing.

I still miss an answer from a Freescale developer. Yuan, Cosmin or Frank, any chance to get an ack on this?

The GPLv2 license makes it impractical for other software components licensed under another license to use our device trees. To fix this, and make our device tree usable by other software components, relicense them under a GPLv2/X11 dual-license.

In order to get this accepted, we *need* all contributors to the Vybrid device tree files to send an ack to the patches applying on a file they contributed on.

I think some Freescale email addresses are not valid anymore, can someone from Freescale make an ack on their behalf?

The needed Acked-by by device tree are:
