Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/4] libarena: remove in-code licenses
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 19:24:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027192413.5038-2-emil@etsalapatis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027192413.5038-1-emil@etsalapatis.com>
The libarena code currently specifies a license section in multiple
locations. These sections are a) inaccurate, since the license is
actually Dual BSD/GPL, not pure GPL, and b) superfluous, since the
files already have the license on them and libarena is distributed
as a source. Remove the license strings: The code that includes the
the libarena sources should be the one with the license section.
