What's the licence of the ufs module?

Hello!

The "ufs" module in Linux-2.4.18pre2 has no license tag. "ufs" is a
filesystem used primarily on *BSD, but the code is part of the Linux tree,
so it should be under GPL (IMHO). I couldn't find any indications that
the license used by the ufs module differs from the rest of the kernel.

If my reasoning is correct, then the following patch should be applied:

==============================
--- linux.orig/fs/ufs/super.c
+++ linux/fs/ufs/super.c
@@ -981,3 +981,4 @@

module_init(init_ufs_fs)
module_exit(exit_ufs_fs)
+MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
==============================
