Did you clarify it Cavium's legal team?

The permissions states that you should not add it to another publication 
without written permission. DPDK can be considered a publication.
Did you got written permission?

If not please specify Cavium's legal team opinion or take permission 
from author. I believe that it is easy to obtain permission for this code.
