Tom, Karim!
As you might know we are working on cleaning up the licensing mess in the
kernel and convert it to SPDX license identifiers as the only source of
license information.
Archaeology found unspecific GPL license references, which have been
authored by you.
1) this file is released under the gpl
kernel/relay.c
Can you please either send cleanup patches for the affected files or
indicate which GPLv2 variant you had in mind and I run it through my
cleanup machinery.
Thanks for the ping.
I assume you mean the GPLv2 variants from here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0?h=v5.18-rc7
In that case, I'd say that the intent was to follow what Linus had been
using: i.e. GPL-2.0 or GPL-2.0-only.
That said, since it was Tom that got this code included and did most of
the work on it, I think he'd have to confirm what his view was as well.
Cheers,
