License boilerplate in CTS mode implementation (crypto/cts.c) looks like
MIT license with advertising clause. Replace it with correspondig
SPDX tag.

This is not the MIT license (as defined by SPDX) - there may not be an
SPDX identifier covering this license text.

This is at least the second time in your recent patches where you have
assumed that a non-GPL license corresponds to a particular SPDX
identifier without (apparently) checking.

I was thought of interpolating license tags (heuristic matching) in
cases like this. In this case, the UoMi license was adapted from
(and roughly resembled) MIT (hence I thought of MIT variant).

Greg, is Richard's comment right? If so, I'll drop this patch.

Thanks!

Nope, licenses don't always work that way, sorry.

Yes it is, please ask for all of these to not be applied.

There's a reason that we didn't do all of these in the first big sweep
of the kernel tree, as you are finding out :(

Did you mean this whole series? Other patches have not been reviewed
yet. Maybe Herbert can apply these rest of patches if there is
no objection.

Based on the review of these, I would drop them all until you can get a
review from someone with lots of license experience to add their
reviewed-by to them.

Heh.

Richard is the only person on thread who is a Lawyer with a Wikipedia
page.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Fontana Let's just assume
everything he says is 100% correct.
