All files related to this driver contain the following notice:
See LICENSE.qla3xxx for copyright and licensing details.
LICENSE.qla3xxx can be found in
Documentation/networking/device_drivers/qlogic/. The file contains:
- A copyright notice
This copyright notice is redundant as all files contain the same
copyright notice already
- A license notice
You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the GNU
General Public License (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A) published by the Free Software Foundation (version 2 or a later
version).
This can be replaced with the corresponding SPDX license identifier
(GPL-2.0-or-later) in the source files which reference this license
file.
- A license for the device firmware
This license is pointless in the context of the kernel as the firmware
is not distributed as part of the kernel.
LICENSE.qla2xxx contained exactly the same firmware license which was
removed with commit bc3f957c06 ("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Update
LICENSE.qla2xxx.").
The firmware license is there due to the fact that the out of tree
driver tarball which was available from the qlogic website contained
the firmware binary. The firmware license in the qla3xxx license file
got probably forgotten when the other qlogic license files were
updated.
Remove the notices and add the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-or-later to
the source files.
Finally remove the now redundant LICENSE.qla3xxx file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
