[dpdk-web] Updated charter for upload

[dpdk-web] Updated charter for upload

[Trishan de Lanerolle]

Hi Thomas,
I was trying to compare this to the numbering changes you had in charter 2.
Had some trouble doing that in Word. Attached is the latest approved
charter. Can you help upload this file to the website.

Thanks,
Trishan

Sorry, I cannot convert a Word document to the HTML version of the charter.
We use git to bring modifications to the web site (and charter).

Which modification do you want to do?

If it is only about my numbering update, it is available here:
	http://dpdk.org/about/charter2
The patches waiting for approval are:
	http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/web/2017-March/000299.html

Re: [dpdk-web] Updated charter for upload

[Trishan de Lanerolle]

Hi Thomas,
Attached is a version highlighting the specific changes (with tracking)
that should go into the site (note some are updated hyperlinks). Can you
help modify these specific sections along with your formatting and
numbering patches and update the website.

Regards,
Trishan

[dpdk-web] [PATCH 0/3] update charter

[Thomas Monjalon]

Trishan (Linux Foundation) asks for some changes in the charter.

Trishan, I did not include your comments about the Technical Board
composition because it was not clear enough to me and it should
be reworded by the Technical Board itself if needed.

Re: [dpdk-web] [PATCH 2/3] update Technical Board responsibility wording

[Dave Neary]

Hi,

I had a concern about this one expressed to me, which I sent to the
govboard list and did not see any response - "shall be" is more rigorous
language than "is" - changing this does not improve the document at all,
and creates potential legal loopholes/confusion.

I would prefer this specific change not to be made.

Thanks,
Dave.

For clarity, the only part of this change I have an issue with is
"s/shall be/is/"

Thanks,
Dave.

Re: [dpdk-web] [dpdk-govboard] [PATCH 3/3] update license policy wording

Hi,

I got the same feedback ("s/shall be/is/ makes the document more legally
ambiguous - why avoid standard legal language?) on part of this change.
I have the same reservations which I also make on the govboard list when
this change was proposed.

Thanks,
Dave.

I think this wording is confusing:

- What exactly is disjonctive?

- How to interpret "BSD OR GPL or BSD OR LGPL"?
Should we add parens or commas? Or reword?

LGPLv2.0 is an obsolete license.  We shall be using LGPLv2.1.  As per "https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0.en.html"
"Please note that the GNU Library General Public License has been superseded by the GNU Lesser General Public License. We urge everyone to use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this GNU Library GPL. We leave the Library GPL available here for historical reference."
Please note that DPDK repository include LICENSE.LGPL for version 2.1 

In your patch you are just changing the links etc. so this may be an incremental change as well.

I agree, it should be LGPL-2.1.
The files are already declaring LPGL-2.1 in their headers:
	- drivers/net/avp/rte_avp_common.h
	- drivers/net/avp/rte_avp_fifo.h
	- lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/include/exec-env/rte_kni_common.h

I suggest to send a v3 to update it.

Trishan, do you agree?

as commented by Hemant.
