From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> Add the LICENSES directory as suggested by Greg KH. It will contain the license files relevant to this project that is: LGPL-2.1 for the library and GPL-2.0 & the Linux-syscall-note for the Linux Kernel uAPI header. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted>I see you are following the kernel licencing rules wrt license file naming and formatting. Have you considered following the REUSE spec, as Greg also suggested, instead? Cheers, Kent.
The library is tightly coupled with the kernel so I thought it's best to follow the same scheme. Every file also has an SPDX identifier so together this looks clean to me. Bart
