What is this all about please ? Yes, I was wondering about this as well. And in the Linux kernel (Rocketboards) this file is dual licensed. Here an extract: <------- /* * Driver for Cadence QSPI Controller * * Copyright (C) 2012 Altera Corporation * * This software is available to you under a choice of one of two * licenses.

Especially since the other files in this driver are just normal GPL files. Comments welcome.
