FYI
As of the next release, we will be adding the option to license the ACPI AML interpreter (drivers/acpi/*/*.c) under the BSD license, as well as the current, GPL license.
While this will nominally increase your rights w.r.t. the code, the real reason for this is for us to more easily accept external contributor's changes into the interpreter's code (a good thing for everyone).
The Linux-specific ACPI code (drivers/acpi/*.c) is not affected by this change (i.e. it is still GPL-only).
This was mentioned a couple of months ago, but we're now finally getting around to doing it. :)
Regards -- Andy
