Hi Simon, Yes it would be better to move to SPDX header(s) instead. But I now think [1] that I would be (technically) changing the license and I'm not in a position to do that. While it may be reasonable to *assume* that GNU General Public License was meant, I think that's not enough when it comes to legal/license issues. So please disregard my patch submission and apologies for the noise. Regards, Diederik [1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2281101.Yu7Ql3qPJb@prancing-pony/
