[patch 0/9] treewide: Cleanup recently added license mess

[Thomas Gleixner]

Recently added files or recently added SPDX license identifiers introcuded
license conflicts due to contradicting SPDX license identifiers and boiler
plate text or sloppy license notices.

That's really sad. Quite some people have put a lot of effort into cleaning
up the licensing mess and provided detailed documentation.

It's about time that everyone in the community understands that licensing
is not just an annoyance. It's a really important part of the project and
has legal implication even on the personal level.

The following series addresses recently added crimes. The patches are in a
series but are indenpendent of each other so they are intended to be
applied by the relevant maintainers after thorough review.

Unfortunately we don't have a consistency scanner at the moment. That's a
non trivial problem as the license mess throughout the kernel is horrible
in general. I'm working on a scanner bot which will at least catch newly
added SPDX related inconsistencies. But that will take a while.

Thanks,

	tglx

[patch 1/9] block: Cleanup license notice

[Thomas Gleixner]

Remove the imprecise and sloppy:

  "This files is licensed under the GPL."

license notice in the top level comment.

1) The file already contains a SPDX license identifier which clearly
   states that the license of the file is GPL V2 only

2) The notice resolves to GPL v1 or later for scanners which is just
   contrary to the intent of SPDX identifiers to provide clear and non
   ambiguous license information. Aside of that the value add of this
   notice is below zero,

[patch 2/9] crypto: aegis - Cleanup license mess

Precise and non-ambiguous license information is important. The recently
added aegis header file has a SPDX license identifier, which is nice, but
at the same time it has a contradictionary license boiler plate text.

As the other aegis related files are licensed under the GPL v2 or later,
it's assumed that the boiler plate code is correct, but the SPDX license
identifier is wrong.

Fix the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate as it is redundant.

Oh well.

As the other ceph related files are licensed under the GPL v2 only, it's
assumed that the SPDX id is correct and the boiler plate was randomly
copied into that patch.

Remove the boiler plate as it is wrong and even if correct it is redundant.

[patch 8/9] tools: bpftool: Cleanup license mess

[Thomas Gleixner]

Precise and non-ambiguous license information is important. The recent
relicensing of the bpftools introduced a license conflict.

The files have now:

     SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0-only OR BSD-2-Clause

and

     * 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

Amazingly about 20 people acked that change and neither they nor the
committer noticed. Oh well.

Digging deeper: The files were imported from the iproute2 repository with
the GPL V2 or later boiler plate text in commit b66e907cfee2 ("tools:
bpftool: copy JSON writer from iproute2 repository")

Looking at the iproute2 repository at

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git

the following commit is the equivivalent:

  commit d9d8c839 ("json_writer: add SPDX Identifier (GPL-2/BSD-2)")

That commit explicitly removes the boiler plate and relicenses the code
uner GPL-2.0-only and BSD-2-Clause. As Steven wrote the original code and
also the relicensing commit, it's assumed that the relicensing was intended
to do exaclty that. Just the kernel side update failed to remove the boiler
plate. Do so now.

[patch 9/9] vfio/pci: Cleanup license mess

[Thomas Gleixner]

The recently added nvlink2 VFIO driver introduced a license conflict in two
files. In both cases the SPDX license identifier is:

  SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+

but the files contain also the following license boiler plate text:

  * 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

The latter is GPL-2.9-only and not GPL-2.0=.

Looking deeper. The nvlink source file is derived from vfio_pci_igd.c which
is also licensed under GPL-2.0-only and it can be assumed that the file was
copied and modified. As the original file is licensed GPL-2.0-only it's not
possible to relicense derivative work to GPL-2.0-or-later.

Fix the SPDX identifier and remove the boiler plate as it is redundant.

Sorry about that!  

These files as you found out are from Stephen, so we probably don't
need the full litany of acks.

I agree. I cc'ed everyone just to make them aware that licensing is not
just an annoyance. It's a important part of the project and it has legal
implications - in the worst case on the personal level. We already have an
unholy mess in that area, so we really need everybody to take it serious.

Shouldn't this be: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ */ ?

At least this is the form documented in Documentation/process/license-rules.rst:

" License identifiers for licenses like [L]GPL with the 'or later' option
   are constructed by using a "+" for indicating the 'or later' option.::

      // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+"

My intent was to release this under GPL v2, hence:

Either works, please see LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0

Personally, I think we should stick with the "+" version as that is the
much more prevalent use in the kernel at the moment, but it's Thomas's
call, not mine.
