[PATCH] Corrected GPL license name

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The bpf_doc script refers to the GPL as the "GNU Privacy License".

Public License, under which the Linux kernel is released, as, to the

This patch corrects the license name in the script accordingly.
