Jonathan Corbet 9d3cdd446e net: meth: remove spurious copyright text
Evidently, at some point in the pre-githistorious past,
drivers/net/ethernet/sgi/meth.h somehow contained some code from the
"snull" driver from the Linux Device Drivers book.  A comment crediting
that source, asserting copyright ownership by the LDD authors, and imposing
the LDD2 license terms was duly added to the file.

Any code that may have been derived from snull is long gone, and the
distribution terms are not GPL-compatible.  Since the copyright claim is
not based in fact (if it ever was), simply remove it and the distribution
terms as well.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
