Re: [patch 08/25] treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 8

Similar comment as for patches 6 and 16: the additional disclaimer
paragraph at the bottom (beginning with "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED
BY...") appears to come from a BSD-style license, not GPL. I'm not
sure this disclaimer should be deleted and replaced by just a standard
GPL-2.0-or-later tag.
