Hi Alan,

IBM bought us a couple of years ago and linux RCU is an IBM approved
project. I am not sure I understand what exactly is needed for patent use
grant for GPL, but whatever it is, I see absolutely no problem getting it done.
I would appreciate if you let me know what is needed for GPL.

Thanks
