LICENSES: Rename other to deprecated

2019-05-03T12:34:32Z

Make it clear in the directory name that these are not intended for new code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

LICENSES: Clearly mark dual license only licenses

2019-05-03T12:34:16Z

Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3 compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel. Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules in license-rules.rst.

LICENSES: Add GCC runtime library exception text

2019-01-16T21:54:15Z

A recent commit added SPDX identifiers to the SuperH low level library code which originates from GCC. This code is licensed under the GPL 2.0 or later with the GCC runtime library exception. Unfortunately the authors did not bother to add the exception text to the LICENSES directory so spdxcheck fails with: arch/sh/lib/ashiftrt.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/ashlsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/ashrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/lshrsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/movmem.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udiv_qrnnd.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i-Os.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 arch/sh/lib/udivsi3_i4i.S: 1:42 Invalid Exception ID: GCC-exception-2.0 Add the exception text along with the required tags which allow automated checking.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This is a fairly typical cycle for documentation. There's some welcome readability improvements for the formatted output, some LICENSES updates including the addition of the ISC license, the removal of the unloved and unmaintained 00-INDEX files, the deprecated APIs document from Kees, more MM docs from Mike Rapoport, and the usual pile of typo fixes and corrections" * tag 'docs-4.20' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (41 commits) docs: Fix typos in histogram.rst docs: Introduce deprecated APIs list kernel-doc: fix declaration type determination doc: fix a typo in adding-syscalls.rst docs/admin-guide: memory-hotplug: remove table of contents doc: printk-formats: Remove bogus kobject references for device nodes Documentation: preempt-locking: Use better example dm flakey: Document "error_writes" feature docs/completion.txt: Fix a couple of punctuation nits LICENSES: Add ISC license text LICENSES: Add note to CDDL-1.0 license that it should not be used docs/core-api: memory-hotplug: add some details about locking internals docs/core-api: rename memory-hotplug-notifier to memory-hotplug docs: improve readability for people with poorer eyesight yama: clarify ptrace_scope=2 in Yama documentation docs/vm: split memory hotplug notifier description to Documentation/core-api docs: move memory hotplug description into admin-guide/mm doc: Fix acronym "FEKEK" in ecryptfs docs: fix some broken documentation references iommu: Fix passthrough option documentation ...

LICENSES: Remove CC-BY-SA-4.0 license text

2018-10-18T09:28:50Z

Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic, as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2 licensed and thus not compatible. Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid people semi-accidentally using it again. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

LICENSES: Add ISC license text

2018-10-12T17:23:59Z

Add the full text of the ISC license to the kernel tree. It was copied directly from: https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with "THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and brcmfmac wifi drivers.

LICENSES: Add note to CDDL-1.0 license that it should not be used

2018-10-12T17:23:17Z

The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license. Add a note about this and change the example tag to be dual-licensed. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

LICENSES: Add Linux-OpenIB license text

2018-04-27T22:41:53Z

The infiniband code uses a variant of the OpenIB license. This license is BSD-2-Clause with the MIT disclaimer. The linux kernel uses this license extensively throughout the driver subsystem since 2005. Note that the OpenIB.org license is a true match to BSD-2-Clause.
