I know the title’s not that helpful, but I like rhyming. The i915 driver in DragonFly now matches what’s in the Linux 4.5 kernel, for a more complete description. (Here’s the Linux changelog to match.) This is good news for anyone with Skylake, Broxton, or Kabylake processors.

Does that mean GPL code is in DBSD?
Nope. The DRM code and the drivers for Intel, AMD and the open source NVidia drivers are under the MIT license.
@lazarus
Besides gcc, is there any GPL code in dragonfly?
Does dragonfly hold strict rules to only use mit & bsd licensed code?
Ted – http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dragonfly.git/tree/HEAD:/contrib may have the answers you are looking for.
@justin, unfortunately your link doesn’t help.
Ted, if you want to see the licenses of non-DragonFly software that comes with DragonFly, that’s the place to see it. That should generally be the only place with non-BSD/MIT licenses. I haven’t reviewed every file, of course, so don’t take my word for final.
