Hi Bruce, Will you please check it with Trishan and DPDK GB board? DPDK license indicates the correct license types in: http://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tree/license/README However in exception files we added the keyword "Dual" - which is unnecessary and not part of standard SPDX definition. I hope they have no objection in getting it corrected.

I guess I was waiting for a board approval as reply to the patch.
