The main goal of this series is to finish the ReST conversion. After this series, we have just those files still in plain old format:

    - Documentation/RCU/RTFP.txt
    - Documentation/atomic_bitops.txt
    - Documentation/memory-barriers.txt
    - Documentation/atomic_t.txt
    - Documentation/filesystems/dax.txt
    - Documentation/filesystems/path-lookup.txt
    - Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/README

PS.: I'm using a script to remove false-positives and ignore non-converted translated files.

It is worth to mention that this fseries contain licenses for the two GFDL licenses used within the Kernel: GFDL-1.1+ and GFDL-1.2.

Those licenses are the result of long discussions with the SPDX legal team, and are part of this commit, to be added for the future SPDX 3.10 version: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/pull/1048/commits/f695d2ac65230d0f4...

Mauro Carvalho Chehab (9): docs: dt: convert booting-without-of.txt to ReST format LICENSES: add GFDL licenses media: docs: use SPDX GFDL-1.1-or-later-no-invariants

The identifier "GFDL-1.1-or-later-no-invariants" isn't following expected construction (or-later and -only at the end) and the pull request is still under discussion on the SPDX license list, so please hold off on applying this until the correct identifier is figured out there.

Thanks for checking this. I assumed that the discussions on SPDX were finished. For now, I'll keep using a license text at the Kernel (on media and on another file dual-licensed GPL and GFDL).

I'm keeping the patches changing the license on a temp branch. I'll re-submit them once the patch gets merged at SPDX specs tree.

Btw, another file using both GPL and GFDL was just added via the media tree[1]. I need to remember that when re-submitting this one, as otherwise it would be a left-over.

[1] Due to historic reasons, media userspace API is licensed under GFDL. We're using a dual-license model for newer files at the media uAPI book.

Thanks! Mauro
