Subject: [PATCH 0/2] COPYING: create a new file with points to the Kernel license files
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2018 06:54:12 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180322095414.24019-1-mchehab@s-opensource.com> (raw)

The contents of COPYING file is now duplicated at two other
files under LICENSE:
	LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
	LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note

Also, a new file was added, with describes how SPDX should work at
the Kernel source files:
	Documentation/process/license-rules.rst

Instead fo having it copying the contents of two files, and not
even mentioning the third one, replace it by a file whose content
points to the other tree files, preserving the Kernel's license.

Adjust license-rules.rst accordingly.

No license changes.

NOTE
====


In order to make the diff easier to read, I broke it into two patches.
Feel free to merge both when merging if you want.
