The DPDK uses the Open Source BSD-3-Clause license for the core libraries
and drivers. The kernel components are naturally GPLv2 licensed.
Many of the files in the DPDK source code contain the full text of the
applicable license. For example, most of the BSD-3-Clause files contain a
full copy of the BSD-3-Clause license text.
Including big blocks of License headers in all files blows up the source
code with mostly redundant information. An additional problem is that even
the same licenses are referred to by a number of slightly varying text
blocks (full, abbreviated, different indentation, line wrapping and/or
white space, with obsolete address information, ...) which makes validation
and automatic processing a nightmare.
To make this easier, DPDK uses of a single line reference to
Unique License Identifiers in source files as defined by the Linux
Foundation's SPDX project https://spdk.org.
Adding license information in this fashion, rather than adding full license
text, can be more efficient for developers; decreases errors; and improves
automated detection of licenses. The current set of valid, predefined SPDX
identifiers is set forth on the SPDX License List at
https://spdx.org/licenses/.
For example, to label a file as subject to the BSD-3-Clause license,
the following text would be used as the top line of the file.
SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause
Note: Any new file contributions in DPDK shall adhere to the above scheme.
It is also recommended to replace or at least amend the existing license
text in the code with SPDX-License-Identifiers.
Any exception to DPDK IP policies shall be approved by DPDK tech board and
DPDK Governing Board. Steps for any exception approval:
1. Mention the appropriate license identifier form SPDX. If the license is
not listed in SPDX Licenses. It is the submitters responsibiliity to get
it first listed.
2. Get the required approval from the DPDK Technical Board. Technical board
may advise the author to check alternate means first. If no other
alternatives are found and the merit of the contributions are important
for DPDK's mission, it may decide on such exception with two-thirds vote
of the members.
3. Technical board then approach Governing board for such limited approval
for the given contribution only.
Any approvals shall be documented in "licenses/exceptions.txt" with record
dates.
Note: From the legal point of view, this patch is supposed to be only a
change to the textual representation of the license information, but in no
way any change to the actual license terms. With this patch applied, all
files will still be licensed under the same terms they were before.

The DPDK needs to stay up to date with current LTS Linux kernel support.
If the kernel is older than LTS it is likely to be insecure and buggy.

PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated for a while.
As explained in [1], these flags were kept to let the applications and
PMDs move to the new flag. There is also a need to support Rx vlan
offload without vlan strip (at least for the ixgbe driver).
This patch renames the old flags for this feature, knowing that some
PMDs were using PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT to indicate that
the vlan tci has been saved in the mbuf structure.
It is likely that some PMDs do not set the proper flags when doing vlan
offload, and it would be worth making a pass on all of them.
