Hi everyone,

We've looking at re-licensing skiboot to be dual Apache2.0 / GPLv2 (or
later).  Since skiboot is mostly IBM authored code the bulk of it is
re-licensed in this series, but I have identified some files that contain
external contributions.  These are:

Author: William A. Kennington III <wak at google.com>
	core/flash.c
	hw/ipmi/ipmi-watchdog.c

Author: Ilya Kuznetsov <ilya at yadro.com>
	core/pcie-slot.c

Author: Dinar Valeev <dvaleev at suse.com>
	external/common/rules.mk
	external/gard/Makefile
	external/opal-prd/Makefile
	external/pflash/Makefile

Author: Dan Horák <dan at danny.cz>
	external/xscom-utils/Makefile
	platforms/astbmc/garrison.c
	external/gard/rules.mk

Author: Robert Lippert <rlippert at google.com>
	hdata/vpd.c
	hw/dts.c
	core/direct-controls.c
	include/cpu.h

Author: Michal Suchanek <msuchanek at suse.de>
	libflash/libffs.c

The license of these files will be left as Apache 2.0 unless the copyright
holder approves them being re-licensed.


There are also several platform files with non-IBM code. I'm less concerned
about re-licensing these since they're largely peripherial and will
probably never be used outside of skiboot itself. However, if you, or your
employer is fine with dual licensing them, then just say so and I'll fix
them up.  That said, there is no drawback to leaving the license as-is and
we will continue to support these systems in upstream skiboot.
