…y MIT) Rebased onto current develop (4f75b1f). Relicenses NVIDIA-authored code from MIT to Apache-2.0 using the exact NVIDIA OSS SPDX header, while keeping under MIT every file that carries non-NVIDIA contributions, so no third party's code is relicensed without consent. License assignment (per-file SPDX tag on every source file): - Apache-2.0: 515 files authored solely by NVIDIA (incl. the new Rubin/BF16 grouped GEMM kernels and gemm_proj_rope_mxfp8 variants). - MIT (67): files with surviving lines from external contributors in the issue NVIDIA#431 sign-off list, determined by git blame on develop. - MIT (29): FlashAttention/QuACK-derived files carrying external authors' copyright; pinned to MIT so the Apache-2.0 root does not absorb them. New since the previous revision of this PR (develop 3a9ed3f -> 4f75b1f): - 26 new files headered; 63 modified files re-analyzed. - Two new external contributors, adding 4 files to the MIT set: DrDirk (NVIDIA#423) -> conv_dgrad.h, conv_fprop.h, conv_wgrad.h Hongxiao (NVIDIA#410) -> test/python/fe_api/dsa/test_DSA_indexer_top_k.py Both must be added to the issue NVIDIA#431 consent list. - rmhaskar (NVIDIA#432) verified NVIDIA-affiliated; Chase Block now commits from an NVIDIA address. Neither adds MIT files. - PR NVIDIA#434 removed the Jerry Chen personal copyright from bwd_barriers.py; 6 other DSA files still carry it and remain Category 2. Licensing files: LICENSE.txt (Apache-2.0), LICENSE-MIT.txt, LICENSING.md (dual-license manifest with per-file introducing-commit links), THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt, NOTICE, pyproject ('Apache-2.0 AND MIT'), README. Every change is comment/header-only; all Python compiles. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
