Subject: [PATCH v2] lib: update the licence of the ASN.1 encoder and decoder
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:14:05 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cfc226dc9d457593cf3639d7698809391dd96d49.camel@HansenPartnership.com> (raw)
The open source project leancrypto (github.com/smuellerDD/leancrypto)
has asked to use the ASN.1 encoder/decoder files from the kernel.
Since leancrypto is licensed under BSD-3-Clause the fairest thing to do for everyone is add BSD-3-Clause as an OR to the SPDX tag so every project could import them under the same terms.
The copyright holders of both files have agreed to this change.

v2: update the header and script file licences as well and add David's Ack
