Let us check the non-whitespace differences (the whitespaces are completely different in this patch) between the Linux COPYING file and this patch:
<cut> > +Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > +51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
This should have been "St." and not "Street"
<cut> > +TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
"GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE" missing before "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION"
<cut> > + One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
This should have been
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
<cut> > + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along > + with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., > + 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
This should have been:
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
<cut> > + signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
This should have been
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
