I guess my confusion comes from seeing patch series doing this change in the ML
instead of really reading the documentation. If it's clear, and as per in-kernel
docs, it is, that a GPL-2.0 tag is a GPL-2.0 only license, that's fine with me.

I don't have special interest on land this if it's clear (was not really clear
to me before the discussion). So, I'll drop that patch from my queue.

Thanks for the feedback,
