I guess I built a lazyness checker with scancode to keep you check then ;) But FWIW you are not alone there and at least your notices are/were consistent across files ... there are still several hundred variations of GPL notices in the kernel each with subtle or byzantine changes. Some of them are rather funny like Evgeniy's thermal code being under the "therms" of the GPL [1] CC: Evgeniy Polyakov <[email protected]> [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/w1/slaves/w1_therm.c?h=v4.14-rc8#n8 -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne
