One other thing that occurred to me is that documentation files, too,
are copyrightable and should have license identifiers. So maybe the
documentation on these identifiers should set a good example :) The RST
version would be:
.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
I'll try to find some time to start fixing up Documentation/ in general.

Would it make sense to take an incremental approach to this? Get the
source code and identifiers worked on by Thomas et al through first, then
think about and fix up potential other issues, like the top level COPYING
file, or documentation :-)
