BSD is very permissiv= e license. I am not a lawyer, I am just afraid that including a proprietary license sh= ould not have any implications on DPDK project. We are planning to move to= SPDX based license identifiers to clearly mark file license instead of put= ting the whole license text in the source files.=20 1. We will need an statement from Synopsys that they agree to include this= code as "BSD-3 clause" license. 2. In near future, you will be asked to remove the Complete License statem= ent and the files will be identified under SPDK tag for BSD-3 Clause licens= e (or Dual BSD-3/GPLv2). Note - your copyrights will remain intact. If you don't agree to any of the above, we have to go to Gov Board for exc= eption approval and may be to LF Legal for advice. It is going to take tim= e.
