Dear Sandeep,

Sorry for asking stupid questions - but which sort of conflict do you see in this text? The licensing seems to be OK with me (reference to COPYING file in the top level directory), and the exclusion of warranty is not a problem either.
Am I missing something?
GPL 2 and at option later version is missing.
Well, there was a reference to the COPYING file, which should be sufficient. I sent a patch to make this clear.
- THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
- IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
- WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
I am referring to this "AS IS" part. I believe I discussed offline with you and Tom quite some time back and IIRC you had said that modifying this header to suit our needs was not allowed.
I see no problem with this part. It corresponds mostly with the "NO WARRANTY" of the GPL; the wording may be different, but I see no conflicts (of course, IANAL).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
