Sorry for ambiguously. I meant that I need to talk with my boss about your suggestion.
I was not sure that I should add our license if I make considerable changes, or not. But I understand that I don't need to add
without if I will to do. As your suggestion, we decided to not replace existing license.
Ferruh,
I would like to send modified patches to not include NTT beside Intel.
Thanks,
Yasufumi
