Hi David

Interesting question.

ksz_9477_reg.h and ksz_spi.c are not a problem, since Woojung Huh is
the only contributor.

ksz_common.c has a MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") so indicating it probably was
intended to the GPL.

However, getting an acked-by from Arkadi Sharshevsky
<arkadis@...lanox.com> would be good.
