Thanks. I've added the patch to my tree.

While I initially saw it as a spelling error, I've since changed my view that
it would actually be changing the license and I'm not qualified to do that.
See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2281101.Yu7Ql3qPJb@prancing-pony/

While it seemed reasonable to *assume* that the GNU General Public License was
meant, I (now) think that is not sufficient when it comes to legal/license
material, which this is. I think, but I'm not a lawyer.

So maybe it's better to remove/revert it from your tree?

Sorry,
Diederik

OK, let's err on the safe side ;) Patch removed.
