This seems to be a bit confusing since this file has no explicit license template, except this one: MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); Which, according to include/linux/module.h translates to "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later] On the other hand there are files like drivers/s390/char/zcore.c which just contain a statement "License: GPL", which was converted to GPL-1.0+ (see patch 4 of this series). Right now I'm not saying that anything is wrong here, but I'd like to understand the rationale. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
