Is there a policy that new source files upstreamed to u-boot contain registered SPDX license identifiers? I see that there are still about 1900 source files that have no SPDX identifier, and about 6000 that do. The reason I'm asking is that our company has a dual license (for GPL2.0 or Proprietary), and would like to know if it is possible to submit code that has the legacy dual license first (and register/clean up SPDX later), or if we need to do the internal legal and register the appropriate licenses with spdx.org first before submission upstream?
New code needs to use SPDX tags.
Next, I'm not a lawyer but you should ask the legal folks in your company if you can't just license a copy of the code in question you want to use as reference as GPL-2.0
