we really want to get rid of these boiler plate disclaimers as they are
already implicit by the SPDX license identifier and provide no real
value.

Aside of that, the above disclaimer has even a slightly different wording
than the standard BSD-2-Clause disclaimer which is going to cause even more
headaches as automated scanner tools will detect that and someone has to go
through that unreadable uppercase yelling mess and figure out whether it's
a legaly substantial difference.

Can you please get rid of those?

Thanks,

	tglx
