The patch itself looks good, but I think we have a deeper problem,
in that there is no actual license information anywhere in xfsprogs now.

We need to fix that up similar to the LICENSES/ directory in the kernel.
SPDX tags are good and nice, but without an explanation what they mean
in the same source tree they are useless.
