SPDX identifier question for vboxvideo

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

 



Hi all,

I was preparing patch to fix the use of load/unload drm_driver hooks and use drm_dev_alloc and drm_register. When I was preparing the patch, I run checkpath and got a warning regarding SPDX tag identifier for the files. As this is the first patch I try to send, I though it would be a good idea to send a patch to fix this warning first, as this is a simpler one, and I could check all my setup with it. But, when I read the license for these files, I see that MODULE_LICENSE defines 'GPL and additional rights'...
As the GPL version is not specified, which one is the default ? GPL2+ ?
And, in the case of 'additional rights'... while reading the top of the file, it more like a permissive license, but, it is not clear if it would be MIT or BSD ... I know that several other files probably have the same problem with licenses.. So, how are you proceeding ?
Regards
