* LICENSES/dual/CC-BY-4.0: Git rid of "smart quotes"Nishanth Menon2021-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of exotic quote characters came in with this license text; they can confuse software that is not expecting non-ASCII text. Switch to normal quotes here, with no changes to the actual license text.

* LICENSES: Add the CC-BY-4.0 licenseThorsten Leemhuis2020-12-081-0/+410
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the full text of the CC-BY-4.0 license to the kernel tree as well as the required tags for reference and tooling. The license text was copied directly from the following url, but for clarification a 'Creative Commons' was added before 'Attribution 4.0 International' in the first line: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.txt CC-BY-4.0 is GPLv2 compatible, but when for example used for the kernel's documentation it can easily happen that sphinx during processing combines it with text or code from files using a more restrictive license[1]. This bears pitfalls, hence point that risk out and suggest to only use this license in combination with the GPLv2.

* LICENSES/deprecated: add Zlib license textMikhail Zaslonko2020-09-161-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new files contributed to zlib have Zlib SPDX license identifier. Since there was no Zlib license text in LICENSES, scripts/spdxcheck.py reported the following errors: lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc.h: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_deflate.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_inflate.c: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib lib/zlib_dfltcc/dfltcc_util.h: 1:28 Invalid License ID: Zlib The patch adds Zlib SPDX license to LICENSES/deprecated, thus resolving the issues reported by spdxcheck.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3 compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel. Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules in license-rules.rst.

* 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.
