Is that correct ? No. Nothing will change wrt to the Linux kernel. In my mind, I've always viewed arch/arm/boot/dts as a separate repo that happens to be incubating in the Linux kernel tree. Right or wrong, I was referring to the dts/dtsi/bindings eventually standing on their own. Looking back on the conversation, I definitely worded it badly. I apologize for that. > Is there any way we can keep the LaCie DTS files licenced under GPLv2+ > _and_ still distributed with the others. Anyone would be free to choose > to use them (or not), in respect of the licence terms. Yes, the difficulty lies in making that distribution *easy* for other projects. They already have their own dts files, why would they adopt our work if they have to pick through it? I suspect the eventual solution (after the dts/bindings are their own repo) will involve adopting the SPDX-* header tag, and then some scripting to create separate git branches by license. That would allow us to keep everything in the repo, make it easy to incorporate / redistribute based on license, and hopefully reduce the maintenance burden. thx, Jason. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
