(trying this again, as first time, my message bounced)

I just saw this and have not followed the entire thread from the =
beginning, but if you are unsure if a given license text to something on =
the SPDX License List, I highly recommend using the SPDX License-diff =
browser extension / add-on (for Chrome or Firefox) - once you have that, =
you can simply highlight a text in your browser window and it will tell =
you if it matches or how far off it is if not.

If a license is NOT a match to anything on the SPDX License List, please =
submit it to the SPDX legal team here: =
https://tools.spdx.org/app/submit_new_license/ (and preferably then tag =
me in the Github issue, my Github ide is @jlovejoy ) Please make sure to =
include that it's in the LInux kernel and a link to where you found it.=20=


More about requesting a new license be added to the SPDX License List =
can be found here: =
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/master/DOCS/request-new-lice=
nse.md

Thanks!
