[Question] What is the license of scripts/basic/fixdep.c ?

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hi.


The comment block of scripts/basic/fixdep.c says as follows:


 * Author       Kai Germaschewski
 * Copyright    2002 by Kai Germaschewski  <kai.germaschewski@xxxxxx>
 *
 * This software may be used and distributed according to the terms
 * of the GNU General Public License, incorporated herein by reference.



It does not explicitly mention the version of GPL.

In this case, I think the corresponding SPDX tag
is GPL-1.0+ instead of GPL-2.0

Is this correct?



There could be another problem regarding of this.



Commit 9f7ef9854e80 copied scripts/basic/fixdep.c
to tools/build/fixdep.c, but it ripped off its license term.

Later, it was tagged as GPL-2.0 by b24413180

See 'git show  b24413180 -- tools/build/fixdep.c'


Maybe tools/build/fixdep.c should be corrected to GPL-1.0+ ?
