Can we replace the "BSD Patent License" article identifier (which has several instances in the patch) with "BSD Plus Patent License"? If I look at <https://opensource.org/licenses/BSDplusPatent>, its title says "BSD+Patent". So if we can't put "+" in the article identifer, I think we should spell out "Plus". If it's a bad idea, I don't insist. Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> Thanks Laszlo -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
