Allow ndctl.h to be licensed with BSD-2-Clause so that other operating systems can provide the same user level interface. ---
I've been working on nvdimm support in FreeBSD and would like to offer the same ndctl API there to ease porting of application code. Here I'm proposing to add the BSD-2-Clause license to this header file, so that it can later be copied into FreeBSD.
I believe that all the authors of changes to this file (in the To: list) would need to agree to this change before it could be accepted, so any signed-off-by is intentionally ommited for now. Thanks,
Scott
