Subject[PATCH] Resolve duplicate/conflicting MODULE_LICENSE tags
From
Date
While reviewing module licenses I've noticed the following
inconsistencies:

* fs/affs/affs.ko, drivers/media/radio/miropcm20.ko have
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") twice.

* drivers/scsi/pcmcia/fdomain_cs.ko, drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_cs.ko
have both MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and MODULE_LICENSE("Dual MPL/GPL").
The common denominator seems to be MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") -- right?

* drivers/net/ppp_mppe.ko has MODULE_LICENSE("BSD without advertisement
clause"). This is generally considered a GPL compatible license,
and should probably be added to license_is_gpl_compatible().


Are we fine with applying the following patch?

Thanks,
Andreas Gruenbacher.
