This is at least the fourth or fifth time (I'm losing track) where you
have incorrectly assumed a particular non-GPL license text matches a
particular SPDX identifier without (apparently) checking.

Bagas, I urge that you learn more about the nature of SPDX identifiers
before submitting any further patches at least involving replacement
of non-GPL notices with SPDX identifiers. For this unprecedented
license notice replacement initiative to have any legitimacy it must
attempt to apply SPDX identifiers correctly.

This is not BSD-3-Clause as defined by SPDX. It may be a match to
`Brian-Gladman-3-Clause` but I haven't checked closely.

The BSD portion of this license notice is not a match to BSD-3-Clause
(see my comment on another patch which I think had the same license
text).

At the time, I guessed that boilerplate wording have the same meaning as
the actual BSD 3-Clause license.

(And no wonder why this file missed previous SPDX batches).

tglx, I'm adding you to Cc:. Please have a look on this (and following
below) BSD wording variants.

The first clause also addes disclaimer perseverance as in the second;
and the third clause is worded differently (but same meaning).

See my above reply.

Stephan (original author), was your intention to license these files
under BSD 3-Clause?

Thanks for reviewing.

What exactly does 'checking' entail here? There is no guidance in
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst on how to perform this
comparison.

Also, checkpatch now complains about missing SPDX identifiers, which
is what triggered this effort. Should it stop doing that?

Since we're in language pedantic mode: it must do more than attempt,
it must apply them correctly, period.

Arguably, this is an 'attempt to apply SPDX identifiers correctly' on
Bagas's part, which apparently falls short (and I may be guilty of the
same for some arch crypto code)

So what is the ambition here: do we just leave the ambiguous ones as-is?

I recommend yes, leave them as-is until the legal people who actually
care about having SPDX lines in all of the files take the time to do the
work to resolve these issues.

Remember, they are the ones asking for it, no need for us to do their
work for them :)

thanks,
