Sorry to hijack this thread, but you're recommending SPDX now? You
seemed pretty negative on it last time it came up[1]. Or was that just
in context of the churn of converting existing files? Personally, I
like the use of SPDX tags over free form license text and would like
to encourage it for dts files.
