[PATCH v2 03/16] xz: Switch from public domain to BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD)

Lasse Collin
2024-07-21T13:44:02Z

Remove the public domain notices and add SPDX license identifiers.

Change MODULE_LICENSE from "GPL" to "Dual BSD/GPL" because 0BSD should
count as a BSD license variant here.

The switch to 0BSD was done in the upstream XZ Embedded project because
public domain has (real or perceived) legal issues in some jurisdictions.
