Although I don't mind either way it should be noted that the LICENSES
files came from Linux, and Linux doesn't have the extra spaces.

That said, these are licenses files not code, so we don't necessarily
need to keep them in sync over time I think.

So I am fine with this. I am also fine if you drop this patch.

   Do NOT use this license for code, but it's acceptable for content like artwork
   or documentation. When using it for the latter, it's best to use it together
   with a GPL2 compatible license using "OR", as CC-BY-4.0 texts processed by
   the kernel's build system might combine it with content taken from more
   restrictive licenses.
