It was copied directly from: https://spdx.org/licenses/ISC.html With the mention of "ISC" in the warranty disclaimer replaced with "THE AUTHOR" as done in the ISC license headers used in the ath10k and brcmfmac wifi drivers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only reason we have the CDDL-1.0 license text around is for some dual-licensed files from virtualbox. New code should not use this license. Add a note about this and change the example tag to be dual-licensed. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
* | LICENSES: Remove CC-BY-SA-4.0 license textChristoph Hellwig2018-10-181-397/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | Using non-GPL licenses for our documentation is rather problematic, as it can directly include other files, which generally are GPLv2 licensed and thus not compatible. Remove this license now that the only user (idr.rst) is gone to avoid people semi-accidentally using it again.

* LICENSES: Add the GPL 2.0 licenseThomas Gleixner2018-01-061-0/+353
Add the full text of the GPL 2.0 license to the LICENSES directory. It was copied directly from the COPYING file in the kernel source tree as it differs from the public available version of the license in various places including the FSF. Philippe did some research on the GPL2.0 history: There is NO trustworthy version of an official GPL 2.0 text: the FSF official texts are all fubar (if only in small and subtle ways). The FSF texts should be authoritative, but then which one? They published more GPL 2.0 versions than most. So we would be hard pressed to blame SPDX or the OSI for having their own minor variant. Then in digging further, I found the ONE true original GPL with a file time stamp on June 2 1991, 01:50 (AM?, PM? unknown time zone?) ! in an old GCC archive. For the posterity and everyone's enjoyment I have built a git history of GPL 2.0 Mark1 to Mark6 See https://github.com/pombredanne/gpl-history/commits/master/COPYING I also added a shorter history of the Linux COPYING text. The first version in Linus's git tree is based on the very fine and well tuned GPL 2 Mark4, the first fully Y2K compliant version of the GPL 2, as you can see from the diffs with the former Mark3: that was dangerously stuck in the last century. The current version in is based on a rare GPL 2.0 Mark5.1 aka "Franklin St", that I do not have in my history yet and spells "Franklin St." rather than "Franklin Street." Therefore there is likely another GPL 2.0 version between Mark4 and Mark5 that I have yet to find and may not have been caught by the archive.org spiders. Here help and patches welcomed: this is likely an important missing link.
