Subject[PATCH v2] misc: hpilo: relicense HPE iLO driver as Dual MIT/GPL
Date
From: Matt Hsiao <matt.hsiao@hpe.com>

Currently, the hpilo driver is licensed as GPL. To run OpenBSD on HPE
servers with BMC (HPE iLO) functionality, a dual MIT/GPL license is needed
for porting the hpilo driver to OpenBSD.

Signed-off-by: Matt Hsiao <matt.hsiao@hpe.com>
