Thank you Wolfgang for simplifying license handling!
You are welcome!
What about dual licensed files? What do you prefer?
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-2-Clause
This was my initial idea when I started thinking about this, but then I realized that there were a few files that had (by accident) both GPL-2.0+ and GPL-2.0 license headers (separated by a larger text block, so it was not obvious at first glance), so my first attempts of automatic editing would generate two (here incompatible) License-ID entries.
Because of this I think there should be exactly one License-ID entry in any file. So for dual-licensed files the entry should list the license IDs in a single entry.
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+, BSD-2-Clause Other seperator?
Yes, please let's just use white space for separation; this is easier to parse by simple (shell) scripts.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
