Dear Stephen,
In message 52546F78.40300@wwwdotorg.org you wrote:

I assume "one such License Identifier" here is intended to mean: a source line prefixed with the words "SPDX-License-Identifier:". However, to me "one such License Identifier" would actually refer to the "GPL-2.0+" part of the line, since that's what actually identifies the license. The other text simply introduces a list of license identifiers. That would then conflict with the rest of the patch that goes on to explicitly state that multiple licenses are allowed.
In other words, I think that text can be confusing. I think you need to add "line", "list" or "set" to the end of the sentence to make it unambiguous.
Could you please suggest such a phrase? Thanks.
Sigh. As I said: In other words, I think that text can be confusing. I think you need to add "line", "list" or "set" to the end of the sentence to make it unambiguous.
