This is a relic from the early port of Linux to the m68k processor family, before it was merged in v1.3.94. Later, copies of this boilerplate ended up in the PowerPC port. The "README.legal" file (from e.g. [1]) read: ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------- Legal information about the Linux/68k software package All files contained in this archive are copyrighted by one or more person.

This patch series gets rid of the references to README.legal by replacing the boilerplate with SPDX license identifiers. Changes compared to v1[2]: - Add Acked-by, - s/existant/existent/.
