Odd, I was told that if you have the "this is covered under the GPLv2"
then that's all that is needed for a single file in a larger body of
work, like the kernel.
People regularly take files out of the kernel or display only one of
them. However it's a legal question which means changing it needs the
approval of the right subspecies ....
You may be right, but it should go past the appropriate expert for the
change, just like anything else.
But you do agree about the address paragraph being able to be removed,
right?
<wears parrot outfit>
That is a legal question. I am not a lawyer. Please discuss with Intel
before removing any disclaimers other license material.

Sqwark!
Alan's probably right at least about the warranty bit, so I'll have to
NAK for the changes to the xHCI driver (which are copyright Intel).
BTW, it would have been nice to be CC'd on the original patch. :)
Sorry, was 52 recipient, and i wouldn't spam the list.

My proposals:
1. do nothing, very easy ;-)
2. change the old address to the new one
3. remove the address paragraph and add the following text (from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html):
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
possibly change the url to, e.g. http://kernel.org/gpl2.txt
