The code originally got added in commit 5085cb26503a by the individual whom
your present interlocutor is in the habit of defining by means of the
perpendicular pronoun.[*]

It is derived, as stated in the previous first line of the file, from
lib/crc32.c in the Linux kernel source, which states:

 * This source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License,
 * Version 2.  See the file COPYING for more details.

So it is correct that tools/pcmcia/crc32hash.c is licensened under
GPL-2.0-only.
