Good question. The change is definitely effective immediately for the
code in the git repository as of yesterday -- you don't need to wait for
any updated license headers or anything like that. I believe the
permission is also sufficient to cover the files starting on the day
that SGI made the licensing change back in September, but if it's really
important to you I think you should double-check that with upstream.

Hope this helps,
