I would like to revive this thread regarding SPDX license identifiers in the Linux kernel. And check how to best start / proceed with the integration now. Greg, if you are open to patches adding this one-line SPDX license tag to the source code, how should I begin with such a task in your opinion? Should I add those tags for just one driver directory (e.g. drivers/base/*) first? And send those patches to the list(s) for review. Or do you have other suggestions on how to start with this task? Any comments and / or suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks!
