There is no need for yet-another-copy of the gpl to be in the kernel
source tree, especially for just a single driver.  This got added as
part of the import of the driver from when it was a stand-along chunk of
code.

-
-GNU General Public License
-
-Version 2, June 1991
-
-Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
-59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
-document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Preamble
-
-The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
-share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended
-to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
-the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies
-to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
-whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
-software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You
-can apply it to your programs, too.
-
-When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
-General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
-to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
-wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
-can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
-you know you can do these things.
-
-To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
-deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
-restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
-copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
-for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
-must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
-must show them these terms so they know their rights.
-
-We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
-offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
-and/or modify the software.
-
-Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
-everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
-the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
-recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
-problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
-reputations.
-
-Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
-wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
-individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
-proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
-licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
-follow.
-
-TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
-   placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
-   terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any
-   such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
-   Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
-   work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
-   modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
-   translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
-   Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-   covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
-   the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
-   only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent
-   of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
-   on what the Program does.
-
-1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code
-   as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-   appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
-   disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
-   License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
-   of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
-   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
-   may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
-   thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
-   modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
-   you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-   * a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
-        that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-   * b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-        whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
-        thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
-        under the terms of this License.
-
-   * c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
-        run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive
-        use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
-        including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
-        no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that
-        users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and
-        telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
-        the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
-        an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to
-        print an announcement.)
-
-   These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
-   sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
-   reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
-   this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
-   distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
-   sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
-   distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
-   permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
-   each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-   Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-   your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-   exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-   collective works based on the Program.
-
-   In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-   with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
-   storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
-   scope of this License.
-
-3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
-   Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections
-   1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-   * a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
-        code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
-        above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-   * b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
-        to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
-        physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-
-        readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
-        under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
-        used for software interchange; or,
-
-   * c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
-        distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
-        only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
-        program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
-        accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-   The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-   making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
-   means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-   associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
-   compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
-   exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
-   normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
-   components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which
-   the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
-   executable.
-
-   If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
-   to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
-   the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
-   code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
-   along with the object code.
-
-4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
-   expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
-   modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
-   automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
-   who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
-   have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
-   compliance.
-
-5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
-   it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
-   the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
-   if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
-   distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you
-   indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
-   conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works
-   based on it.
-
-6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-   Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-   original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-   these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
-   on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
-   responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
-
-7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-   infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-   conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-   otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-   excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
-   so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
-   any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
-   distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
-   not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
-   receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
-   could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
-   distribution of the Program.
-
-   If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
-   particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply
-   and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
-
-   It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-   patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-   such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-   integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
-   by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions
-   to the wide range of software distributed through that system in
-   reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
-   author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
-   through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
-
-   This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
-   a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
-   countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
-   copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
-   explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
-   so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
-   excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
-   written in the body of this License.
-
-9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-   the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
-   similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-   address new problems or concerns.
-
-   Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-   specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-   later version", you have the option of following the terms and
-   conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
-   the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
-   number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
-   Free Software Foundation.
-
-10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
-    whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask
-    for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
-    Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
-    exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
-    preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-    of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-   NO WARRANTY
-
-11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-    FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-    OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-    PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
-    EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
-    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
-    ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
-    YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
-    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-    WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-    REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
-    DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
-    DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
-    (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
-    INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
-    THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
-    OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
-software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
-To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
-attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the
-exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright"
-line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.
-Copyright (C) yyyy  name of author
-
-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.
-
-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.  See the GNU General Public License for
-more details.
-
-You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with
-this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
-Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when
-it starts in an interactive mode:
-
-Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
-with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.  This is free
-software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
-type 'show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
-called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
-Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
-'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
-signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
-Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
-License instead of this License.
