FWIW: the code was introduced long time ago in bk:// without any license
indication:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/log/packages/makedevs?h=master
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/log/recipes/makedevs?h=master
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/log/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs
and the GPL-2.0-or-later license was added much longer in:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs?id=409ac23702058a058c187f22d796eff251a8f18e
So I wouldn't say, it's completely clear, but this patch just keeps the
same LICENSE value as was set in LICENSE in:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/recipes/makedevs?h=master&id=122efc0b6621f22709fa7f8071392b37ae0d3b02
but using "or-later" version in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM as added in COPYING.patch.

>> -+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
>> -+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
>> -+
>> -+ Preamble
>> -+
>> -+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
>> -+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
>> -+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
>> -+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
>> -+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
>> -+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
>> -+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
>> -+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
>> -+your programs, too.
>> -+
>> -+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
>> -+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
>> -+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
>> -+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
>> -+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
>> -+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
>> -+
>> -+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
>> -+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
>> -+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
>> -+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
>> -+
>> -+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
>> -+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
>> -+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
>> -+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
>> -+rights.
>> -+
>> -+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
>> -+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
>> -+distribute and/or modify the software.
>> -+
>> -+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
>> -+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
>> -+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
>> -+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
>> -+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
>> -+authors' reputations.
>> -+
>> -+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
>> -+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
>> -+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
>> -+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
>> -+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
>> -+
>> -+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
>> -+modification follow.
>> -+
>> -+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
>> -+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
>> -+
>> -+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
>> -+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
>> -+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
>> -+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
>> -+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
>> -+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
>> -+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
>> -+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
>> -+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
>> -+
>> -+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
>> -+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
>> -+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
>> -+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
>> -+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
>> -+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
>> -+
>> -+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
>> -+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
>> -+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
>> -+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
>> -+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
>> -+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
>> -+along with the Program.
>> -+
>> -+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
>> -+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
>> -+
>> -+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
>> -+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
>> -+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
>> -+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
>> -+
>> -+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
>> -+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
>> -+
>> -+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
>> -+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
>> -+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
>> -+ parties under the terms of this License.
>> -+
>> -+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
>> -+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
>> -+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
>> -+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
>> -+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
>> -+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
>> -+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
>> -+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
>> -+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
>> -+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
>> -+
>> -+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
>> -+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
>> -+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
>> -+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
>> -+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
>> -+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
>> -+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
>> -+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
>> -+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
>> -+
>> -+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
>> -+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
>> -+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
>> -+collective works based on the Program.
>> -+
>> -+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
>> -+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
>> -+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
>> -+the scope of this License.
>> -+
>> -+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
>> -+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
>> -+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
>> -+
>> -+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
>> -+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
>> -+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
>> -+
>> -+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
>> -+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
>> -+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
>> -+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
>> -+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
>> -+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
>> -+
>> -+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
>> -+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
>> -+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
>> -+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
>> -+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
>> -+
>> -+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
>> -+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
>> -+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
>> -+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
>> -+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
>> -+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
>> -+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
>> -+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
>> -+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
>> -+itself accompanies the executable.
>> -+
>> -+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
>> -+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
>> -+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
>> -+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
>> -+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
>> -+
>> -+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
>> -+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
>> -+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
>> -+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
>> -+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
>> -+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
>> -+parties remain in full compliance.
>> -+
>> -+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
>> -+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
>> -+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
>> -+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
>> -+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
>> -+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
>> -+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
>> -+the Program or works based on it.
>> -+
>> -+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
>> -+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
>> -+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
>> -+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
>> -+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
>> -+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
>> -+this License.
>> -+
>> -+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
>> -+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
>> -+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
>> -+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
>> -+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
>> -+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
>> -+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
>> -+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
>> -+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
>> -+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
>> -+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
>> -+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
>> -+
>> -+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
>> -+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
>> -+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
>> -+circumstances.
>> -+
>> -+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
>> -+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
>> -+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
>> -+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
>> -+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
>> -+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
>> -+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
>> -+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
>> -+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
>> -+impose that choice.
>> -+
>> -+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
>> -+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
>> -+
>> -+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
>> -+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
>> -+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
>> -+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
>> -+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
>> -+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
>> -+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
>> -+
>> -+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
>> -+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
>> -+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
>> -+address new problems or concerns.
>> -+
>> -+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
>> -+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
>> -+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
>> -+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
>> -+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
>> -+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
>> -+Foundation.
>> -+
>> -+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
>> -+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
>> -+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
>> -+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
>> -+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
>> -+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
>> -+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
>> -+
>> -+ NO WARRANTY
>> -+
>> -+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
>> -+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
>> -+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
>> -+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
>> -+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
>> -+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
>> -+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
>> -+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
>> -+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
>> -+
>> -+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
>> -+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
>> -+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
>> -+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
>> -+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
>> -+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
>> -+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
>> -+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
>> -+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
>> -+
>> -+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
>> -+
>> -+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
>> -+
>> -+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
>> -+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
>> -+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
>> -+
>> -+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
>> -+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
>> -+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
>> -+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
>> -+
>> -+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
>> -+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
>> -+
>> -+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
>> -+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
>> -+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
>> -+ (at your option) any later version.
>> -+
>> -+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
>> -+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
>> -+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
>> -+ GNU General Public License for more details.
>> -+
>> -+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
>> -+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
>> -+ Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
>> -+
>> -+
>> -+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
>> -+
>> -+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
>> -+when it starts in an interactive mode:
>> -+
>> -+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
>> -+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
>> -+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
>> -+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
>> -+
>> -+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
>> -+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
>> -+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
>> -+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
>> -+
>> -+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
>> -+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
>> -+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
>> -+
>> -+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

Should I resend this with just GPL-2.0-only (as buildroot header) and only
SPDX header in source like RP did for keymaps in:

>> >> -+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

>> >> -+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
>> >> -+parties remain in full compliance.
>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
>> >> -+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
>> >> -+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are

>> >> -+the Program or works based on it.
>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
>> >> -+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
>> >> -+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
>> >> -+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further

>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

>> >> -+

>> >> -+
>> >> -+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
>> >> -+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
>> >> -+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the

>> >> -+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing

>> >> -+
>> >> -+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
>> >> -+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
>> >> -+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
>> >> -+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
>> >> -+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding

>> >> -+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
>> >> -+
>> >> -+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions

>> >> -+

Lets make it GPL-2.0-only which seems safest given the confusion and
put an SPDX-License-Identifier in the source file.
Very happy to see this cleaned up though!

-+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-+ Version 2, June 1991
-+
-+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-+ 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
-+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
-+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-+
-+ Preamble
-+
-+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-+your programs, too.
-+
-+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-+
-+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-+
-+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-+rights.
-+
-+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-+distribute and/or modify the software.
-+
-+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-+authors' reputations.
-+
-+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-+
-+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-+modification follow.
-+\f
-+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-+
-+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-+
-+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-+
-+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-+along with the Program.
-+
-+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-+
-+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-+
-+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-+
-+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-+ parties under the terms of this License.
-+
-+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-+\f
-+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-+
-+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-+collective works based on the Program.
-+
-+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-+the scope of this License.
-+
-+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-+
-+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-+
-+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
-+
-+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
-+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
-+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-+
-+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-+itself accompanies the executable.
-+
-+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-+\f
-+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-+parties remain in full compliance.
-+
-+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-+the Program or works based on it.
-+
-+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-+this License.
-+
-+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-+
-+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-+circumstances.
-+
-+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-+impose that choice.
-+
-+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-+\f
-+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-+
-+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-+address new problems or concerns.
-+
-+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-+Foundation.
-+
-+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-+
-+ NO WARRANTY
-+
-+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
-+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-+
-+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-+
-+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-+\f
-+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-+
-+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-+
-+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-+
-+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
-+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
-+
-+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
-+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
-+ (at your option) any later version.
-+
-+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
-+ GNU General Public License for more details.
-+
-+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
-+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
-+ Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
-+
-+
-+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-+
-+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-+when it starts in an interactive mode:
-+
-+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
-+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
-+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
-+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-+
-+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
-+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-+
-+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-+
-+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
-+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-+
-+ <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
-+ Ty Coon, President of Vice
-+
-+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
-+Public License instead of this License.
