I've changed the XArray documentation from > CC-BY-SA-4.0 to GPL-2+. Would you consider doing the same for Documentation/core-api/idr.rst? That's the only CC-SA SPDX tag in the kernel now, and it's a clear example of just what I'm worried about: it pulls in a nice DOC section from the code when you run Sphinx on it, so we're not just talking function prototypes here. I was likely to come knocking on your door after my upcoming conversation anyway...:) Thanks, jon
