[PATCH 03/11] xz: Switch from public domain to BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove the public domain notices and add SPDX license identifiers.

Change MODULE_LICENSE from "GPL" to "Dual BSD/GPL" because 0BSD should
count as a BSD license variant here.

The switch to 0BSD was done in the upstream XZ Embedded project because
public domain has (real or perceived) legal issues in some jurisdictions.
