But the Linux Foundation, the authority maintaining the valid SPDX identifiers, indicates at https://spdx.org/licenses/ that "GPL-2.0" is deprecated while "GPL-2.0-only" (and others) is appropriate. Was there any mention in the thread or other conversations if/when the kernel's documentation (and all existing uses of "GPL-2.0" in the kernel) will be updated to "GPL-2.0-only"? > > :-( I had it originally as GPL-2.0 and then it was pointed out that it > was being deprecated, so rather than creating future thrash over the > change, figured I would be ahead of the game. > > > > > > diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c > > > b/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c > > > > [] > > > @@ -1,3 +1,4 @@ > > > +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only > > > > etc...
