Zhang Jiejing,
In “[PATCH V2] input: add maxim max11801 resistance touchscreen
controller driver” (commit 4203306506ebe4eaaa84a2cbd7c1eb2fc0128faa),
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg14881.html
there is a licensing statement my colleagues and I
do not understand:
* Based on mcs5000_ts.c
*
* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
* the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License.
...
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
What does “either version 2 of the License.” mean?
Either GPLv2 or what?
The "GPL" MODULE_LICENSE implies what is meant is
either GPLv2 or a later GPL version; please see
‘include/linux/module.h’:
* The following license idents are currently accepted as indicating free
* software modules
*
* "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
* "GPL v2" [GNU Public License v2]
The original statement in ‘mcs5000_ts.c’ (from Joonyoung Shim,
whom I've CC-ed) is the usual (reformatted to avoid long lines):
* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
* it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
* the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at
* your option) any later version.
Could you please clarify exactly what ‘max11801_ts.c’ licensing
terms are? Thanks!
cheers,
-blf-
