I think official ack from amd on first patch, especially the .rst snippet, would be really good indeed.
Any update on this one ?
Sorry totally forgot to forward this because I was waiting for split up patches.
Going to do so right now.
Has there been any update ? :-)
AMD legal requires the full license.
Um, what? Please let me talk to them about this, it's not ok for one individual company, out of 450+, to somehow decide to do something different.
Please put your lawyers in contact with me and I will have them discuss it with the proper lawyers on our side.
After more discussion, the lawyers have allowed us to use the SPDX licenses now.
