Personally, I think it's a stupid thing to try to license this code in a dual way, as any port someone is going to have to do to get this code to work in another os will be almost a complete rewrite in the end anyway...
I think that companies want to be able to make derivative works without needing to make the derivative open source, versus porting it to another OS.
And then run that derivitave work on a Linux GPL kernel? Hah, good luck with your lawyers if you try to do that. And good luck trying to work around symbols that the openib code is using that are marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().
Why do people try to do such stupid things, haven't the IB members learned from the past...
I'm not criticizing or defending this, just guessing the reason for the dual license.
