  • Now that the SPDX tag is in all kobject files, that identifies the
    license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
    wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

    This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
    the kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff
    like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
    needed.

    No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

  • It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
    audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

    Update the kobject files files with the correct SPDX license identifier
    based on the license text in the file itself. The SPDX identifier is a
    legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler
    plate text.

    This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
    Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.
