[dpdk-dev] GPL/LGPL .vs BSD license

The following files have LGPL or GPL licenses.   I can see the libretto_eal and the four files that are part of DTS being GPL, but there others seem like a mistake.
Especially the docs, and the presence of the LICENSE.LGPL file.

Is it possible to clean these up and make them BSD licensed?
