[patch 03/3] time: Remove license boilerplates and sloppy references
From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Mar 19 2018 - 06:30:21 EST
Now that the SPDX tag is in all time(r) core files, that identifies the
license in a specific and legally-defined manner. So the extra GPL text
wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.
This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in the
kernel describe the GPL license text. And there's unneeded stuff like the
address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF or other entities which is never
needed.
No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.
