Hi,
which GPL version should be used in SPDX Identifiers for files that
are GPL licensed but do not mention any version? It is not clear to
me after reading license-rules.rst.
For example:

Perhaps look up what version of the GPL that was originally contained in
the tarball that this driver was bundled with? I think that should be
on their website somewhere...
If not, it's v1, not a good thing, but all we have to go on. Also, try
emailing:
* Contact Information:
* wlanfae <wlanfae@xxxxxxxxxxx>
That address :)
thanks,
greg k-h
Ah, there is a file 'license' in the root directory of this driver (rtl8192e)
that I overlooked. It contains GPLv2. So v2 applies to all files with the above
shortened boiler plate?
Thanks,
Michael
