Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: imx6-display5: Replace license text comment with SPDX identifier
Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2025 09:32:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250709-display5-dts-lic-v1-1-81e46a650d3d@prolan.hu> (raw)
Replace verbatim license text with a `SPDX-License-Identifier`.
The comment header mis-attributes this license to be "X11", but the
license text does not include the last line "Except as contained in this
notice, the name of the X Consortium shall not be used in advertising or
otherwise to promote the sale, use or other dealings in this Software
without prior written authorization from the X Consortium.". Therefore,
this license is actually equivalent to the SPDX "MIT" license (confirmed
by text diffing).
