Hello,

this series addresses the problem that binaries licensed under plain GPL
and linked to OpenSSL cannot be distributed. To allow this a special
exception by the copyright holders is needed[1].

After some cleanups (Fixes to spdxcheck, Addition of missing licenses
and converting the affected files to SPDX) the last three patches
implement the actual change to the three affected programs.

Best regards
Uwe

[1] There are many different opinions about this topic and I'm not a
    lawyer. But I know that software distributed by Debian requires this
    and I think it is obvious that this exception does no further harm.

Uwe Kleine-König (7):
  scripts/spdxcheck: fix usage of non-existing variables
  LICENSES: add used licenses to make spdxcheck happy
  scripts: convert imx-image and mxsimage to SPDX
  LICENSES: add OpenSSL exception
  scripts/rsatoc: relicense to allow distribution of binary linked with
    OpenSSL
  scripts/imx-image: relicense to allow distribution of binary linked
    with OpenSSL
  scripts/mxsimage: relicense to allow distribution of binary linked
    with OpenSSL
