Can you provide a brief or whitepaper discussing this complexity please? This pushback is news to me, Mellanox and the RDMA ecosystem has been doing this for over 15 years now. I would need something substantive to have a conversation with our legal.
However, I believe we can get an exception approval for single license MIT or BSD-3-Clause for this code.
