From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> GPL-2.0 license identifier is deprecated, let's use the preferred identifier: GPL-2.0-only. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> --- Hi Kent, Greg, I started working on making libgpiod licensing reuse-compliant and noticed that the reuse-tool is telling me that the GPL-2.0 SPDX identifier in the GPIO uapi header is deprecated. Since I'm required to copy the header verbatim into libgpiod's repository, I think we need to fix that at source first. include/uapi/linux/gpio.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/gpio.h b/include/uapi/linux/gpio.h index e4eb0b8c5cf9..3e01ededbf36 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/gpio.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/gpio.h@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note */
No, there is no need to convert the kernel to the "latest" spdx level, when we started out there was no "-only" nonsense (hint no other license has that crud), and "GPL-2.0" is a totally valid summary of the license. So please don't go changing it all in-kernel, that way lies madness. Let's finish fixing up ALL kernel files before worrying about what SPDX "version" we are at. thanks, greg k-h
