Subject: [PATCH 3/3] LICENSES: add Linux-syscall-note exception text
Date: Fri,  8 May 2020 08:21:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200508062149.30753-3-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200508062149.30753-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

We include Linux headers in barebox, which are licensed under GPL with
this exception.

While we are GPL-2.0 as well and don't require the exception, we should
always provide license texts to the License-Identifiers we are using.

At the time of this writing these are:
  * BSD-1-Clause
  * BSD-2-Clause
  * BSD-3-Clause
  * GPL-2.0-only, -or-later and WITH Linux-syscall-note
  * LGPL-2.1 and -or-later
  * MIT
  * X11
  * ISC

With this commit, our LICENSES directory now contains licenses for all
of them.

+License-Text:

+   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".
+ Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
+ Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
+ kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
+
+ Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel

+ v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
