Dear Sam,
Thanks for contributing the mt7986 clock support to the kernel
repository with commit ec97d23c8e22 ("clk: mediatek: add mt7986 clock
support").
You have marked the files below with the GPL-1.0 License, which
./scripts/spdxcheck.py identifies and warns about:
drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt7986-apmixed.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: GPL-1.0
drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt7986-infracfg.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: GPL-1.0
drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt7986-topckgen.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: GPL-1.0
The kernel's licensing rules are described here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/license-rules.html#kernel-licensing
The GPL-1.0 is a deprecated license in the kernel repository.
Driver code that is licensed with GPL-1.0 might not be compatible with
GPL-2.0. I am not a lawyer, and we probably do not want to require all
users of your driver code to needlessly involve a lawyer to get such a
statement on license compatibility.
Do you really intend to license this code under GPL-1.0 and are you
aware of all the consequences for other developers and users? Or is
this a mistake and you intend to license it under the kernel's
standard GPL-2.0 license?
Best regards,
Lukas
