Hi,
the kernel community is currently trying to make the licensing status more clear in each file. This is mostly done by adding SPDX license identifiers and defining a set of rules how these license related information has to be stored.
I've used this opportunity to go through all files (for example with FSFE's `reuse lint`) and to annotate the files according to the "Linux licensing rules" and FSFE's REUSE practices.
There are two things which could be seen as controversial:
* change of batman_adv.h to the Linux preferred license (I am waiting for Acks) * explicitly mark remaining files as licensed under the GPL-2.0
Kind regards, Sven
