This is the fifth variant of disclaimer modifications.

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:

    this software is provided as is and without any express or implied
    warranties including without limitation the implied warranties of
    merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose

So as with the previous 4, 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

  this program is free software you can redistribute it and or modify
  it under the terms of the gnu general public license version 2 as
  published by the free software foundation you should have received a
  copy of the gnu general public license along with this program if
  not see http www gnu org licenses this software is provided as is
  and without any express or implied warranties including without
  limitation the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for
  a particular purpose

extracted by the scancode license scanner the SPDX license identifier

  GPL-2.0-only

has been chosen to replace the boilerplate/reference in 15 file(s).

So "as is" is in theory this legally magical phrase that can have the
effect of disclaiming implied warranties, and this is associated with
UCC Article 2 (which concerns sales of goods) where it is somewhat
confusingly presented. I might ultimately agree with the view that the
"as is" variant of the GNU source file disclaimer can be subsumed into
the SPDX license identifier notice. But I don't think the issue is as
simple as you may be assuming.

This is a little like my concern about getting rid of explicit
disclaimers of the implied warranties of title and non-infringement,
although less significant. The person (or some original person) who
decided to use the "as is" variant probably did so because they
thought there was something deficient about the absence of "as is" in
the traditional license notice, despite their (presumed) knowledge
that there was a copy of GPLv2 that the recipient would also be
getting that they could look at and have notice of. We should not
forget that this is a GPL compliance issue, because GPLv2 says you
have to "keep intact all the notices that refer . . . to the absence
of any warranty". You are saying that because GPLv2 itself has the "as
is" language, you can delete the "as is" language in this notice
without effectively violating that clause of GPLv2, though literally
of course you *are* violating it. I am just saying that I'm not sure
yet whether I agree with that interpretation.

I guess this also raises the question why I am not really bothered by
getting rid of the traditional GNU license notice warranty disclaimer
language. I don't have a super good answer for that, other than that
the language is just boilerplate recommended by the GPL text itself
and has been prevalent for a really long time. Anytime some
contributor just parrotted the GNU boilerplate, it can be seen as
relatively meaningless. But when a contributor deliberately departed
from the widely-used boilerplate in ways that arguably were motivated
by legal concerns, I am more troubled by the idea that the warranty
disclaimer language can be deleted without the permission of the
copyright holder who originally included that modified warranty
disclaimer language.
