lustre_dlm_flags.h GPLv3 license clarification

From: George G. Davis

Greetings,

As recommended in the thread "SPDX-License-Identifier” [1], I would like to followup with the
maintainers of the file drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/include/lustre_dlm_flags.h regarding the GPLv3
license statement contained in that file [2]. Is there an GPLv3 exception clause which can be applied
for this file similar to the bison exception clause or is this file licensed only under GPLv3 only in which
case it would appear to be incompatible with the Linux kernel license [3]?

TIA!


Regards,
George
