Great. (The keyword is: with right to sublicense.)
Initially, my plan is to apply this approach to files that are present
in the main tree (written by me) and modified in jumbo (currently by
JimF or/and magnum). So it won't affect what you're working on yet.

There's little difference now, but there might be more in the future.

Why not under the cut-down BSD license recommended here? -

For nt_opencl_kernel.cl, please use the same approach that I suggested
to magnum here:

We need to correct that. Otherwise we have the same kind of uncertainty
(part of "collective work" or GPL'ed as "derivative work") that we did
with HDAA_fmt_plug.c before Romain approved placing it under our current
preferred license for such contributions. We need to ask Dhiru for the
same thing (if he's the author).

We need it.

Since Alain's contribution, which you modified, was public domain +
fallback to cut-down BSD license, you can either do the same for your
changes (as suggested above) or you can fully move to cut-down BSD
license for your derived version. Either works for me.
For ssha_opencl_kernel.cl, you don't specify any license, but you wrote
that the code is based on someone else's - so we need to know what
license applied to that code. Can you clarify this?
Perhaps there are other files in your patches with unclear terms as
well... We need to take care of them all.
Thanks,
Alexander
