Yes, we did take lots of efforts in the Technical Board and the Governing Board about this MIT exception. We really appreciate that. About this patch set, it is my severe mistake to switch the MIT License directly for the upstream-ed code in community, in the wrong way. In the past we upstream-ed this driver with MIT License followed from the kernel community's gve driver base code. And now we want to use the code with BSD-3 License (approved by Google).=20 So I suppose that the correct way may be 1) first remove all these code=20 under MIT License and 2) then add the new files under BSD-3 License. Please correct me if there are still misunderstanding in my statement.=20 Thanks Thomas for pointing out my mistake. I'll be careful to fix this. Copyright holder for the gve base code will stay unchanged. Google LLC=20 will be added as one of the copyright holders for the gve common code. @Rushil Gupta Please also be more active and responsive for the code review and contribution in the community. Thanks! >=20
