Standard disclaimer: 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 Modified disclaimer: the file is distributed as is without warranty of any kind and the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose are expressly disclaimed the license provides additional details about this warranty disclaimer Both patches refer explicitely to GPLv2. So as with ASIS-2, I don't see anything contradicting or substantially different. In case we agree on that, I would amend the changelogs of the individual patches with a paragraph explaining our conclusion. Something along the lines: The pattern deviates from the standard GPLv2 disclaimer, but the modifications do not expand beyond the standard disclaimer and the NO WARRANTY section of the GPLv2. So replacing the license notice including the modified disclaimer with the SPDX license identifier results in the same protections and conditions. Feel free to suggest better wording or deeper explanation. Thanks, tglx
