If the code was based on a work that was from GPL-2.0-only you can't, right? :) Please, let's not get into the "oh, you can change the license of all files from company X" business with regards to these semi-automated conversions. That's just going to add work and make things more complex. Feel free to relicense your company's files at a later point in time, just submit a patch to the kernel like any other developer :) thanks, greg k-h
