Subject: [PATCH] staging: sm750fb: fix odd license text
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:30:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190815123009.16499-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)

There is some "confusing" license text in some of the sm750fb driver
files.  After discussing it with the company, it turns out to have been
a mistake and these lines can be safely removed.  The files are all to
be licensed under the GPLv2 license.
