cfg80211: relicense reg.c reg.h and genregdb.awk to ISC
Following the tradition we have had with ath5k, ath9k, CRDA, wireless-regdb I'd like to license this code under the permissive ISC license for the code sharing purposes with other OSes, it'd sure be nice to help the landscape in this area. Although I am %82.89 owner of the regulatory code I have asked every contributor to the regulatory code and have receieved positive Acked-bys from everyone except two deceased entities: o Frans Pop RIP 2010 [0] - Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> - Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org> o Nokia RIP February, 11, 2011 [1], [2] - ext-yuri.ershov@nokia.com - kalle.valo@nokia.com Frans Pop's contribution was a simple patch 55f98938, titled, "wireless: remove trailing space in messages" which just add a \n to some printk lines. I'm going to treat these additions as uncopyrightable. As for the contributions made by employees on behalf of Nokia my contact point was Petri Karhula <petri.karhula@nokia.com> but after one month he noted he had not been able to get traction from the legal department on this request, as such it I proceeded by replacing their contributions in previous patches. The end goal is to help a clean rewrite that starts in userspace that is shared under ISC license which currently is taking place with the regulatory simulator [3].
