Subject: [PATCH] sound: drivers: opl4: Add SPDX id lines to files
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 12:14:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212191416.3723397-1-tim.bird@sony.com> (raw)
Add a license file to reflect variants of BSD licenses, with the
first variant being a BSD-3-Clause license modified to
remove clause 2 (attribution on binary formats). Add the SPDX id:
"GPL-2.0-or-later OR LicenseRef-BSD-variants"
to capture the complexity of custom licenses.
Signed-off-by: Tim Bird <tim.bird@sony.com>
