First of all the code is dual licensed and second we have enough code in the kernel which is licensed MIT/BSD and happily can access the GPL-v2-only APIs. Aside of that we have already code in the kernel which is dual licensed GPL-2.0-or-later OR copyleft-next-0.3.1 We just can't make it SPDX clean because copyleft-next-0.3.1 is not in LICENSING. While I agree that we want to keep the number of licenses as small as possible, we cannot really dictate which dual licensing options a submitter selects unless the license is GPL-2.0-only incompatible, which copyleft-next is not. Can we just get over this, add the license with the SPDX identifier and move on? Thanks, tglx
