From: Laurent Pinchart Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 10:49:51 +0000 (+0300) Subject: drm: uapi: Use SPDX in DRM core uAPI headers X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a1b6cf8e5e7e9102f114f58e599ef1758c732efb;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git drm: uapi: Use SPDX in DRM core uAPI headers The DRM core uAPI headers are licensed under the MIT license, and carry copies of the license with slight variations. Replace them with SPDX headers. Following a discussion with Simona Vetter on this topic, add a clarification in the drm-uapi.rst file that independent closed-source userspace implementations of software using the DRM uAPI are accepted, as allowed by the MIT license.
