Thanks.

The issue in general is we need permission to relicense anything in the 
kernel tree to move it. In some cases, the schema is written, but the
descriptions have not been moved (as that's the part needing to be 
copied. If we missed properties, I'm not sure what happened but they 
should be in the schema too. Maybe they were added around the same time 
the schema got written.
