I released by writeup about the rt-mutex-design.txt (currently in -mm
under Documentation) under the "GNU Free Documentation License, Version
1.2".

If you want to read the license it is here:

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

Thanks Steven,
but a little part of the document is from inkernel documentation (and
vice versa, /Documentation/HOWTO includes part of this document) so I
stick with GPLv2.

I just pushed out the changes.

Ciao,
