Paolo's work probably can't be integrated under its current license, but
libfabric supports external providers.
In fact, libfabric-provider-dpa currently builds as a shared library and
installs as /usr/lib/libfabric/libdpa-fi.so

Is the intent to eventually have this provider included in the
upstream ofiwg code?
Let's say it is not my goal for the next week, especially since some
mandatory features are missing (notably event counters). But eventually,
why not.

I think he said LGPL not GPL, but the OFA prefers the dual BSD/GPL
license.
I did say LGPL.

Does OFA allow for GPL only (or LGPL) license ? I’m no lawyer but the
OFA ByLaws indicate the following in order:
1.Unrestricted
2.Dual (GPL/BSD)
3.BSD only
Thanks for the licensing feedback everybody. I will rediscuss licensing
with both my supervisor (prof. Marco Aldinucci, currently in CC) and A3Cube.

I'm having problems with building your fork of libfabric. Did you do
something to
make it only build for a restricted build environment? autogen.sh
isn't present, and if
I do manual autoreconf, configure (no options) then when I try to make
I get a compile error
owing to incorrect include path options.
In fact, I didn't do anything special to make it build in a restricted
environment, but I didn't do anything as well to make sure it builds
everywhere :)
Apart of my not-so-portable build scripts, your major problem is that
the provider requires DPALIB, which is part of A3Cube driver offering.
DPALIB and the driver are open source under LGPL (which partly explains
my license choice), although they don't distribute it publicly.
If you can't wait to get your hands on it, I suggest you contact A3Cube
directly also to get access to their fabric:
http://a3cube-inc.com/contact-us.html. Meanwhile, given this strong
feedback and interest, I will reach them so that they are directly
involved in this discussion.
Paolo
