I asked Dave Airlie about this: 23:36 < bwh> airlied: Do you know who might be a good person to write to at ATI/AMD about the licence for firmware in r128? 23:48 < airlied> bwh: what license you want it under? its already MIT licensed. 23:50 < bwh> airlied: Is it? Thing is, r128_cce.c doesn't have any ATI copyright notice on it. 23:51 < airlied> bwh: fail.. it probably should have, its still MIT licensed though. 23:52 < bwh> So would someone at ATI be able to confirm that? 23:53 < airlied> well the r128_cce.c has the MIT license on top 23:53 < airlied> I'm just looking to see if I have the original DDK release. 23:55 < bwh> airlied: cheers 23:56 < airlied> so the original table was just released under NDA, with permission to reuse in open source. 23:58 < bwh> Funny sort of NDA ;-) Do you have some legally meaningful statement of the permission that you could forward? 23:58 < airlied> bwh: why funny? 23:58 < airlied> I get lots of NDAs like that. 23:59 < airlied> nope I've gotten nothing real, I doubt anyone in AMD has either, this is like a 10 year old part.
I don't know if this is sufficient assurance of its licence. Ben.
