Documentation/ is far behind on the SPDX front, and I'm all in favor of
fixing that.  I do worry, though, about sticking license declarations
onto files that did not previously have them; do we know what the
original contributor's intent was?

I added this one, and GPLv2 is fine there.

Isn't GPL-2.0 deprecated? It should be GPL-2.0-only, no?

The kernel community hasn't really followed along with that change on
the part of the SPDX folks; as far as I know, GPL-2.0 is considered to
be just fine.  There are currently more than twice as many GPL-2.0
declarations than GPL-2.0-only.

Thanks,

So I've applied patches 2 (since I wrote the initial file) and 8 (with
Takashi's ack).  The others are also fine, I think, but I hesitate to
apply license texts to files without knowing that they match the
author's intent.  I hate to say it, but I think the best approach is to
send each of the remaining patches to the appropriate maintainers for
the subsystem involved.

Thanks,

jon

That makes 100% sense, thank you, Jon!
