SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 0/3] Support NVIDIA Tegra-based Ouya game console
Date
Hi all,

The Bluetooth controller driver sent to linux-input by Lukas Rusak
(CC'd) is a bit of a concern. Here is the original driver:

https://github.com/ouya/ouya_1_1-kernel/blob/master/drivers/hid/hid-ouya.c

and you can see that there is no SPDX header, no license information and
no MODULE_LICENSE declaration. I'd previously noticed this as a
possible cause for concern in upstreaming the driver.

Meanwhile, Lukas's driver is clearly derived from the Ouya Inc. driver
and even retains the Ouya Inc. copyright notice line. However, Lukas's
driver now has a MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") declaration added.

Lukas, did you get clear permission to license the driver as GPL?

Alternatively, kernel developers with greater legal or Ouya knowledge,
is this actually a concern or is it nothing to worry about?

Thanks,

Bob
