We include Linux headers in barebox, which are licensed under GPL with this exception. While we are GPL-2.0 as well and don't require the exception, we should always provide license texts to the License-Identifiers we are using. At the time of this writing these are: * BSD-1-Clause * BSD-2-Clause * BSD-3-Clause * GPL-2.0-only, -or-later and WITH Linux-syscall-note * LGPL-2.1 and -or-later * MIT * X11 * ISC With this commit, our LICENSES directory now contains licenses for all of them.
