I think the requirement is there and that would be much better for everyone: keeping both is redundant and does not bring any value, does it? Instead it kinda removes the benefits of having the SPDX id in the first place IMHO. Furthermore, as there have been already ~12K+ files cleaned up and still over 60K files to go, it would really nice if new files could adopt the new style: this way we will not have to revisit and repatch them in the future. -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
