+      <p>The in-tree DTC (Device Tree Compilator) was switched to use the
+	BSD-licensed version by default.  (The previous default DTC is
+	licensed under the GPL.) The current version supports overlays
+	and is able to compile every DTS used by the &os; arm
+	releases.  The ports GPL version was updated to the latest
+	release (1.4.4).  The in-tree GPL version is still present and
+	the goal is to remove it before &os; 12.0.</p>
