The quilt patch titled
Subject: xz: switch from public domain to BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
xz-switch-from-public-domain-to-bsd-zero-clause-license-0bsd.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------
From: Lasse Collin <lasse.collin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: xz: switch from public domain to BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD)
Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2024 16:36:18 +0300
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.
