Just like the CDDL the Apache license and the MPL must only be used as a choice in additional to an GPL2 compatible license. Copy over the boilerplate from the CDDL file to the other two after fixing it up to make it clear the licenses need to be GPL2 compatible, not just the more generic GPL compatible. For example the Apache 2 license is GPL3 compatible, but that doesn't matter for the kernel. Also move these licenses to a separate directory and document the rules in license-rules.rst.

|
|
|
|
"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object form,
|
|
that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the editorial
|
|
revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications represent, as
|
|
a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes of this License,
|
|
Derivative Works shall not include works that remain separable from, or
|
|
merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative
|
|
Works thereof.
|
|
|

"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including the original

2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
|
|
License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,
|
|
non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to
|
|
reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly
|
|
perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works
|
|
in Source or Object form.
|
|
|
|
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
|
|
License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,

|
|
this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
|
|
sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license
|
|
applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor that
|
|
are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by
|
|
combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such
|
|
Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation
|
|
against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
|
|
lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within
|
|
the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then
|
|
any patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work
|
|
shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
|
|
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or
|
|
Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without modifications,
|
|
and in Source or Object form, provided that You meet the following
|
|
conditions:
|
|
|
|
a. You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a
|
|
copy of this License; and
|
|
|
|
b. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating
|
|
that You changed the files; and
|
|
|
|
c. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You
|
|
distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices
|
|
from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works; and
|
|
|
|
d. If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained within
|
|
such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any
|
|
part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the following
|
|
places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the
|
|
Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if
|
|
provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display
|
|
generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party
|
|
notices normally appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for
|
|
informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may
|
|
add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that You
|
|
distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the
|
|
Work, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be
|
|
construed as modifying the License.
|
|
|
|
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may
|
|
provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use,
|
|
reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such
|
|
Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and
|
|
distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated
|
|
in this License.
|
|
|
|
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any
|
|
Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to
|
|
the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License,
|
|
without any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above,
|
|
nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate
|
|
license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding such
|
|
Contributions.
|
|
|
|
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
|
|
origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
|
|
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to
|
|
in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each Contributor provides
|
|
its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
|
|
OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation,
|
|
any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely
|
|
responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or
|
|
redistributing the Work and assume any risks associated with Your
|
|
exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
|
|
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory, whether
|
|
in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required
|
|
by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or
|
|
agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be liable to You for
|
|
damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or
|
|
consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this
|
|
License or out of the use or inability to use the Work (including but
|
|
not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer
|
|
failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or
|
|
losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of
|
|
such damages.
|
|
|
|
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing the
|
|
Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a
|
|
fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability
|
|
obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in
|
|
accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on
|
|
Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and
|
|
only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor
|
|
harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such
|
|
Contributor by reason of your accepting any such warranty or additional
|
|
liability.
