-All public header files (include/* and arch/*/bits/*) should be
-treated as Public Domain as they intentionally contain no content

-this category as well. If you believe that a file is so trivial that

-request an explicit statement releasing it from copyright.
+In addition, permission is hereby granted for all public header files
