Hi Carlos
drivers/staging/mt7621-eth$ grep LICENSE *
gsw_mt7621.c:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
mtk_eth_soc.c:MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
And include/linux/module.h
says:
/*
* The following license idents are currently accepted as indicating free
* software modules
*
* "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
* "GPL v2" [GNU Public License v2]
So the SPDX string probably does not match the MODULE_LICENSE.
