Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpftool: Add SPDX identifier to btf-dump-file output
Date:   Sun, 13 Mar 2022 16:01:26 -0700
Message-Id: <1d2931e80c03f4d3f7263beaf8f19a4867e9fe32.1647212431.git.dxu@dxuuu.xyz>

A concern about potential GPL violations came up at the new $DAYJOB when
I tried to vendor the vmlinux.h output. The central point was that the
generated vmlinux.h does not embed a license string -- making the
licensing of the file non-obvious.

This commit adds a LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause SPDX license identifier to
the generated vmlinux.h output. This is line with what bpftool generates
in object file skeletons.
