At that point I believe that I made myself sufficiently clear, so I really doubt that "all files without explicit license get the license defendant would like and not the one located in the tree" would fly.

Just make sure to test it yourself - giving somebody else an advice that will land them in trouble is not nice... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
