For this patch set, the code lines remain unchanged. We want to use BSD licensed source files to replace the MIT licensed ones. This patch set is mainly used to for the license related purpose. You can check the latest v4 patch set: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=3D27570&state=3D* Sorry about the misleading titles and statements in this patch set, that cause the misunderstanding of changing license/copyright unconsidered. As Rushil replied, Google is about to upstream driver code to FreeBSD=20 under BSD license as well so we will see this code under BSD license soon.= =20 And he will consult the lawyers on his end as well.
