commit b9795faf5d27edaf49acb9f884ba181c0f0ae66b
Author: Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Aug 30 18:48:11 2019 -0400

OK'ed by Ingo via email.
commit 731be7dde11e3901859e6d527cd59a0ff566df3e (tag: hrev53436)
Author: Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Aug 30 18:27:35 2019 -0400
Relicense all of Ingo's BSD/MIT+advertising clause'd code as plain
MIT.
Via email:
> I'm fine with re-licensing all code using BSD license + advertising
> clause to MIT license.
}}}
No explanation as to why the remaining parts remain under GPL was given in
these commits.
* reiserfs: still under GPL
* src/add-ons/media/plugins/ape_reader/MAClib/MD5.cpp: still under GPL,
looks like this single file should not be hard to replace
Actually under LGPL not GPL (that's a bit less of a problem):
* src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/echo
* src/add-ons/media/plugins/ffmpeg/AVFormatReader.cpp, src/add-
ons/media/plugins/ffmpeg/AVFormatWriter.cpp (they both link to ffmpeg
anyway so there is little point in changing the license?)
* src/add-ons/media/plugins/rtsp_streamer/rtsp.cpp
* malloc_hoard2
Removed, not included in distributed images, or relicensed:
* src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/wwan removed in hrev51685
* matroska: removed in ba5c9689e13e8f25c2df2c20ec0def5a6dba4272
* MediaPlayer: now MIT with agreement from all authors.
* ProcessController: agreement from all authors is being collected on the
mailing list
* tests: as mentionned these are not included in the build images
