IMHO the outcome in that thread is wrong. If there are some files the kernel
hasn't annotated with SPDX tags that's fine. While it should be reported
upstream, Fedora can't block on them, and needs to provide a valid SPDX
identifier downstream until upstream resolves it.

The cops_ffdrv.h does have a somewhat terse bit of text that can be considered
its license. It won't match any recorded SPDX identifier, but if this is
reported to Fedora legal, they can likely assign a Fedora local identifier -
"LicenseRef-<blah>"  (see https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2-draft/other-
licensing-information-detected/ for this use of local identifiers in SPDX
spec).

If there is other firmware identified further LIcenseRef can be added as
required.
