Looks like a false declaration of some copied kernel headers to me.
In what sense false?
I thought of copy&paste mess, when I said this. But there are other possibilities too. The files we see in KDE from 1998. Maybe just outdated bitrot there.
Yes these files are nearly identical to those in kernel, but I fail to see how it can help here.
Nearly identical is a good indicator that they should have compatible licenses.
Also aren't headers not covered by copyright?
They are. This makes it unlikely that the same copyright owner declares a file as MPL here and as GPL there.
What could be a resolution of this issue?
