This is not a question if we "feel" that you can remove this note.
These are legal terms, and _you_ must verify if you are permitted to 
change the licensing terms in any way.

I am not a lawyer, but in the curent case you probably have to check
with Marvell's legal department if they give permission to re-license
this code under GPLv2 and later.

Best regards,
