I have been given permission to fix the "UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY
SOURCE CODE OF MOTOROLA ..." section in the source files of fpsp040/
directory.

One suggestion, so we don't have to revisit this topic in 16 years

altogether and replace it with Greg Kroah-Hartman's suggested verbiage
as in the patch below?

* License oddity in some m68k files

From: Greg KH @ 2006-01-19 18:09 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-m68k, geert, zippel; +Cc: torvalds, Andrew Morton, linux-kernel

Someone recently pointed out to me the following wording on some of the
m68k files that reads:

|               Copyright (C) Motorola, Inc. 1990
|                       All Rights Reserved
|
|       THIS IS UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE OF MOTOROLA
|       The copyright notice above does not evidence any
|       actual or intended publication of such source code.

This shows up in the following files:
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/bindec.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/binstr.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/bugfix.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/decbin.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/do_func.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/fpsp.h
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/gen_except.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/get_op.S
	arch/m68k/fpsp040/kernel_ex.S

and seems to predate the bitkeeper tree, so it's a bit hard to figure
out where they came from.

Any ideas of how they made it into our tree?  And any chance of
correcting them to be the correct license or removing them?

thanks,

greg k-h
