Why add this, it's basically implied?
We have a copy of the file "COPYING" at the top
of the source tree, which is why we don't duplicate
it's contents nor excerpts all over the tree.

Maybe it should be answered by a lawyer,
but it's better to protect our freedom because
law is very 'variable'.

This is not a duplicate, it's only an advertisement.
Long time ago Torvalds wrote at COPYING:
"[...]
Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
[...]"
what does MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") mean at tg3.c ?
GPL 1.0 ?
GPL 2 ?
any GPL ?
only 'GPL' ?
Is possible to write BSD or BSD/GPL or GPLv2 or GPL drivers/code
*inside* Linux kernel ?
