> All files related to this driver contain the following notice:
>
> See LICENSE.qla3xxx for copyright and licensing details.
>
> LICENSE.qla3xxx can be found in
> Documentation/networking/device_drivers/qlogic/. The file contains:
>
> - A copyright notice
>
> This copyright notice is redundant as all files contain the same
> copyright notice already
>
> - A license notice
>
> You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the GNU
> General Public License (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
> A) published by the Free Software Foundation (version 2 or a later
> version).
>
> This can be replaced with the corresponding SPDX license identifier
> (GPL-2.0-or-later) in the source files which reference this license
> file.
>
> - A license for the device firmware
>
> This license is pointless in the context of the kernel as the firmware
> is not distributed as part of the kernel.
>
> LICENSE.qla2xxx contained exactly the same firmware license which was
> removed with commit bc3f957c069f ("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Update
> LICENSE.qla2xxx.").
>
> The firmware license is there due to the fact that the out of tree
> driver tarball which was available from the qlogic website contained
> the firmware binary. The firmware license in the qla3xxx license file
> got probably forgotten when the other qlogic license files were
> updated.
>
> Remove the notices and add the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-or-later to
> the source files.
>
> Finally remove the now redundant LICENSE.qla3xxx file.
