Are you sure you can do that so easily ? Did you get ACK on this from everyone who contributed to that driver ?

Nobody said anything. Some addresses bounced. And most changes made out people outside Freescale/NXP are minor changes, except twice the files were moved during U-Boot structure change. What options do I have?

So, I saw this when it was posted. Am I pleased to see more code change license terms? No. Do I expect everyone to agree with this? No. Do I accept the (nominally) technical arguments made about why this should be done? Yes. Can I object if someone who feels they do have standing to object to this objects? No.
Hope this helps.

Ask all people who contributed to that code for their explicit permission. Legally it is a huge difference between actively confirming approval and not reacting at all.
Best regards,

Hi York,
I was not aware that my small warning fix really made it up to mainstream code. Anyway I approve that license change.

Ask all people who contributed to that code for their explicit permission. Legally it is a huge difference between actively confirming approval and not reacting at all.
All people (except Freescale and NXP employees) contributed to this code are in the CC list. Please give your explicit approval for this license change. Thanks.

All,
If you haven't responded, please give your explicit approval to change Freescale DDR driver to dual-license so it can be re-used by other project(s) with BSD license. Here is the list I compiled from the git history. All commits made by Freescale/NXP employees are removed from this list.

My previous experience with dual-licensed code was with wpa-supplicant. A certain company manufacturing handhelds took it, modified it and was selling the binary. While we were porting Linux onto the device, we asked for the modifications to get the WiFi operational in the Linux port.
What we got from this company was "it's BSD licensed, go away". Were the code GPL, they would be legally obliged to provide the changes, but it was BSD, so the company in question could make profit and the community lost.
This was a prime example of how BSD license is harmful to software freedom and how the community lost because of the BSD license. I do not want to see this happening ever again and I like GPL for that very much.

Marek,
Please allow me to try to convince you. Git log shows you have one commit cd84b1f which fixed the compiling warning for GCC 4.6 on three debug messages. I appreciate your fix.
This driver is for Freescale/NXP DDR controllers, specifically designed on Freescale/NXP SoCs. We spent tremendous effort to make it robust. This driver is useful to initialize DDR for the platforms. While we are moving the platform initialization to ATF (Arm Trusted Firmware), or other pre-bootloader code (such as NXP's implementation of ATF), this driver can be reused to provide the same level of hardware support. As you may know, ATF uses BSD-3 license (some files have GPL/BSD dual licnese). Your approval will make our life easier without having to rewrite the entire driver from scratch.
Thanks for your reconsideration.

So what is in it for me ?
If the code remains GPL, I can ask NXP for changes to the driver if I have the binary which contains this code.
If the code gets re-licensed to dual GPL/BSD, I assume in certain cases, NXP will choose BSD and will not be obliged to provide the changes.
I don't see any benefit for me, any way I look at it, I'm either even or loose .
Why can't you use the code under the current (GPL) license anyway ?

Marek,
Please allow me to try to convince you. Git log shows you have one commit cd84b1f which fixed the compiling warning for GCC 4.6 on three debug messages. I appreciate your fix.
This driver is for Freescale/NXP DDR controllers, specifically designed on Freescale/NXP SoCs. We spent tremendous effort to make it robust. This driver is useful to initialize DDR for the platforms. While we are moving the platform initialization to ATF (Arm Trusted Firmware), or other pre-bootloader code (such as NXP's implementation of ATF), this driver can be reused to provide the same level of hardware support. As you may know, ATF uses BSD-3 license (some files have GPL/BSD dual licnese). Your approval will make our life easier without having to rewrite the entire driver from scratch.
So what is in it for me ?
You may have the flexibility to use ATF or other pre-bootloader software _if_ we successfully upstream this driver to ATF project.
If the code remains GPL, I can ask NXP for changes to the driver if I have the binary which contains this code.
If the code gets re-licensed to dual GPL/BSD, I assume in certain cases, NXP will choose BSD and will not be obliged to provide the changes.
Guess who makes substantial changes to the hardware driver? The people with extensive knowledge of the hardware design. It's not our interest to hide our design from any users.
I don't see any benefit for me, any way I look at it, I'm either even or loose .
If we don't find a way to reuse this driver, I will have to write a new driver. It's not easy to keep two different drivers in sync. So _this_ driver will probably be left behind. I don't think that's in anyone's interest.
Why can't you use the code under the current (GPL) license anyway ?
Do you think the GPL driver can be added to ATF project? I don't think so. So it is a matter of we either can have it in ATF, or we can't.

Ask all people who contributed to that code for their explicit permission. Legally it is a huge difference between actively confirming approval and not reacting at all.
All,
If you haven't responded, please give your explicit approval to change Freescale DDR driver to dual-license so it can be re-used by other project(s) with BSD license. Here is the list I compiled from the git history. All commits made by Freescale/NXP employees are removed from this list.

cd84b1f - Marek Vasut, marek.vasut@gmail.com, 6 years ago : GCC4.6: Squash warnings in ddr[123]_dimm_params.c
I do NOT approve.
My previous experience with dual-licensed code was with wpa-supplicant. A certain company manufacturing handhelds took it, modified it and was selling the binary. While we were porting Linux onto the device, we asked for the modifications to get the WiFi operational in the Linux port.
What we got from this company was "it's BSD licensed, go away". Were the code GPL, they would be legally obliged to provide the changes, but it was BSD, so the company in question could make profit and the community lost.
This was a prime example of how BSD license is harmful to software freedom and how the community lost because of the BSD license. I do not want to see this happening ever again and I like GPL for that very much.

Well, it seems this patch was applied to U-Boot master anyway [1], even though there are concerns and ongoing discussion ... so I lost anyway.
I am _extremely_ disappointed !

I take the responsibility for requesting the pull without getting your approval in time. I am still trying to convince you it is right to use dual license on this driver. Do you want to continue the discussion?

No, do whatever you want with this file.
I am not looking forward to the day when this salami-method progresses enough so that everything that used to be GPL will be nicely GPL/BSD dual-licensed, everything will be technically open-source on paper, but noone will be able to get sources for anything anymore. That is exactly what the BSD license allows.

A single line correction certainly does not deserve copyright. So I won't stop this change.
I can understand that NXP wants to save double work. In general I prefer GPL as a license for U-Boot because it requires that source code changes are made available on request.

The changes I contributed were to the build system (which has been replaced since), so I make no license claims on this driver (or any of the u-boot code).

My small fix surely doesn't justify copyright claims on this driver, so I can't stop this change.

Nobody said anything. Some addresses bounced. And most changes made out people outside Freescale/NXP are minor changes, except twice the files were moved during U-Boot structure change. What options do I have?
Ask all people who contributed to that code for their explicit permission. Legally it is a huge difference between actively confirming approval and not reacting at all.
All,
If you haven't responded, please give your explicit approval to change Freescale DDR driver to dual-license so it can be re-used by other project(s) with BSD license. Here is the list I compiled from the git history. All commits made by Freescale/NXP employees are removed from this list.

Its "only" a file move without real code contribution, so I'm not in the position to make any license claims.
