Severity: normal


Hi,
Not sure if this should have been severity serious or not, so left at normal.

The following files lack licence statements, and one of them lacks a copyright
notice. It could be assumed they fall under the general licence of the kernel
(gpl2), but considering the sourceless files floating around ./arch/arm I felt
it was worth filing a bug report.

./arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/include/mach/platform.h
./arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/include/mach/platform.h

thanks,
kk

There are thousands of source files without explicit banners.  So what?
