From: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 09:39:03 -0600 > Evidently, at some point in the pre-githistorious past, > drivers/net/ethernet/sgi/meth.h somehow contained some code from the > "snull" driver from the Linux Device Drivers book. A comment crediting > that source, asserting copyright ownership by the LDD authors, and imposing > the LDD2 license terms was duly added to the file. > > Any code that may have been derived from snull is long gone, and the > distribution terms are not GPL-compatible. Since the copyright claim is > not based in fact (if it ever was), simply remove it and the distribution > terms as well. > > Reported-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> > Acked-by: Alessandro Rubini <rubini@gnudd.com> > CC: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> > CC: Kate Stewart <kstewart@linuxfoundation.org> > CC: "Fendt, Oliver" <oliver.fendt@siemens.com> > Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Applied, thank you.
