Looking at : git show b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd -- drivers/ and: git grep SPDX -- Documentation/ it could be: +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2004-2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. All Rights + */ or: +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +/* + * Copyright (C) 2004-2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. All Rights + */ Personally I would prefer: +/* + * Copyright (C) 2004-2011 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. All Rights + * + * SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + */ So, is there any guideline? To be clear: I don't want to waste anyone's time on this. But as SPDX was intended for automation, I think it might be good to try having some common pattern here. I don't want to start a discussion, so in case there is no guideline I will just take the /* SPDX */ in firstline version. Regards, Patrick Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co.
