[U-Boot] [PATCH] ARM: dts: Freescale: re-license device tree files under X11
The current GPL only licensing on the device trees makes it very impractical for other software components licensed under another license.
To make it easier to reuse them, re-license the the device trees for Freescale (now NXP) SoCs and boards under license X11.

The kernel dts files are GPLv2 and X11 dual licensed. E.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree...
To avoid dual licensing, we used X11 only. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#X11License

How do these changes match up to the kernel? Thanks!
The kernel dts files are GPLv2 and X11 dual licensed. E.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree...
To avoid dual licensing, we used X11 only. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#X11License
Why would we not want to match the kernel here?

As we are working with Qualcomm for the potential acquisition, their legal team mentioned that they are against using dual license. So as we are updating the license we would like to take that concern too.

I want these to be kept in-sync with what is in the Linux kernel. So, whatever you get done there is fine here (and follow the usual rules in the commit message when syncing), thanks!
The current GPL only licensing on the device trees makes it very impractical for other software components licensed under another license.
To make it easier to reuse them, re-license the the device trees for Freescale (now NXP) SoCs and boards under GPLv2+/X11 dual license.
Same trend is followed in linux.

Notes: V2: - Change license from X11 only to GPL2.0+/X11 dual license. - Updated the commit message accordingly.
V1: - Change the license of freescale (now nxp) dtsi/dts files from GPL2.0+ to X11.

OK. But what does the kernel have for these exact files? If it's GPL2.0+/X11 dual, then this is just a normal sync with Linux Kernel v4.xx and you should say that in the commit message. If you haven't gotten these merged to a Linux Kernel release, are they in -next there? Thanks!

Tom,
This is the case I explained in another email. These dts files are a subset of the those in Linux. This patch is not syncing with Linux to get the identical files, but to change the license to GPLv2 and X11.
We have been maintaining these dts files in U-Boot and they have been different from Linux from the beginning. If you don't disagree, I tend to accept this patch for dual licensing.

OK. While I would encourage use of the same dts in both cases, it's not my maintenance burden here, so if that's how you want to go, that's OK with me. And so long as only NXP/Freescale/etc people have made changes to the dts/dtsi files, it would be fine for NXP/Freescale/etc to update the license terms.
