I generally do not have a issue with GPLv2 license. I believe that most
developers
are under the impression that for a driver (and code) to get mainlined into
the
Linux kernel requires the code to be placed under GPLv2 only. This is just a
generalized check to make sure that there is no problem placing this code
under a more permissive license.

Thank you for the quick response, and I'll make a note of this.
