tbh, most if not all arm drivers are gpl only, and due to code sharing and refactoring I'd say a lot of that has leaked all over drm. IANAL and all that, but personally I believe that the entire idea of drm being MIT is walking on ever thinner ice. And personally I'm not going to extend effort to slow this down or prevent it outright, since I think all that code sharing with arm folks is extremely beneficial for everyone. At least here on Linux. -Daniel

I generally do not have a issue with GPLv2 license. I believe that most developers are under the impression that for a driver (and code) to get mainlined into the Linux kernel requires the code to be placed under GPLv2 only. This is just a generalized check to make sure that there is no problem placing this code under a more permissive license.

Hi
On top of that: Feel free to copy SimpleDRM in any way possible. Consider my original implementation public domain.
Thanks David
Thank you for the quick response, and I'll make a note of this.
