The ibutils tarball as found for download on the openfabrics web site
has some licensing issues that need resolved ASAP. The tarball in its
current form is probably illegal to distribute until the items are
fixed. So, here's what popped up in review (done by Jay Fenlason):
The COPYING files sprinkled around in the tarball are not consistent.
Some of them contain a copy of the GPLv2, some of them contain a
statement that the package is licensed under either GPLv2 in the file
COPYING or the OFA BSD license included here in. Of course, it doesn't
work to reference a COPYING file from within the COPYING file you are
referencing and say it has the information you aren't including here. I
would suggest that the proper place for the statement of GPLv2 or BSD is
in possibly a LICENSE file with the COPYING file being the GPLv2 as
stated. It also seems redundant to have multiple COPYING files and
possibly also multiple LICENSE files in a single tarball, so cleanup of
unnecessary files seems in order here.
Hi Doug
Thanks for providing the info (I guess it was in this way from the
first days we submitted the code to OFA)
Yevgeny will fix this soon
