Yes, ASAP. But, according to the later message by David, I'll respin
with the BSD license for demo code and EXPORT_SYMBOL (no GPL-only
clause):

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/18/119

  "As mentioned, CERN policies are non-restrictive in this sense,
  hence we consider correct to leave EXPORT_SYMBOLs as they are
  currently. The BSD licencing for the other, "public domain" examples
  is also OK."

Shortly: since FMC is not a core component of the kernel, the market
is better served by allowing use of drivers/fmc also by those
companies whose lawyers are bigger than their developers. (disclaimer:
wording is mine). Even if CERN itself won't buy cards with proprietary
drivers.
