      License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license · 6f52b16c
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
      makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default are files without license information under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
      them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
      intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
      which is in the kernels COPYING file:
      
         NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
         services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
         of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
      
      otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
      license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
      Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
      Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
      methodology of how this patch was researched.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
