Subject: [RFC 2/2] license: add using MIT license in base code
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2022 19:04:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221018020437.412353-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221018020437.412353-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Many network drivers have base code which is shared from other
sources. It is allowed to use MIT license in this code since that
license is compatiable with BSD license.

The dates need to be adjusted after final approval.
