tl;dr IANAL: netlink.h GPL, all others DUAL BSD/GPL.
Marc
We're talking about the uapi can headers which are:
include/uapi/linux/can/error.h added with initial code which is Dual BSD/GPL
Copyright by VW, Author Oliver.
include/uapi/linux/can.h added with initial code which is Dual BSD/GPL
include/uapi/linux/can/raw.h added with initial code which is Dual BSD/GPL
Both copyright by VW, Author Oliver and Urs.
include/uapi/linux/can/bcm.h bcm.c has MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL");
include/uapi/linux/can/gw.h gw.c has MODULE_LICENSE("Dual BSD/GPL")
Both copyright by VW, Author Oliver.
include/uapi/linux/can/netlink.h was added by Wolfgang Grandegger:
39549ee can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interface
dev.c holds the netlink parsing code which has MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");
Copyright by Wolfgang.
