Hi, Currently I wonder if common-licenses is the right place for Linux-syscall-note, because this is a Linux specific licenses.
I agree with Ross that SPDX syntax for the LICENSE field would be the best. First step: LICENSE = "GPL-2.0-only & Linux-syscall-note" NO_GENERIC_LICENSE[Linux-syscall-note] = "file://LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note" And with SPDX syntax: LICENSE = "GPL-2.0-only WITH Linux-syscall-note" Maybe in the future we can even use https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data instead of maintaining common-licenses on our own.
