I'm staying out of the crazy license name bikeshedding, so it's going
to be up to the people who have decided they care.

I think whoever *did* care and argued for the change to the SPDX
format is a hopeless wanker. "GPL-2.0{-only,-or-later}" is in no ways
better than the "GPL-2.0{,+}" that was in an earlier version of the
SPDX spec

So I want nothing at all to do with pointless patches. Life is too
short to deal with this.

Other people disagree, so I expect I will get these kinds of stupid
noise patches through the usual channels.

But I refuse to actively spend my time on them.
