For obvious reasons, we can't take patches without any changelog text,
and you know this :(

But a meta-comment.  You are changing the license and copyright of a
file, without any info at all as to why this is allowed.

Please get your legal council to sign off on such a change in order to
have this be able to be properly reviewed.  Please include the
justification for why the license change is allowed, and why the
copyright change is allowed (hint, they are vastly different things, and
really should be two different patches.)

Without that information, changes like this are not allowed, and you
want that to be the case.

So please work with your lawyers and please cc: me on future license
and copyright changes like this.

thanks,

greg k-h
