I'd rather we use the latest version of the spdx forms. https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/2/883 I think it's better to modify checkpatch when the kernel uses the latest forms. There is a separate script that validates the spdx forms. ./scripts/spdxcheck.py That script, which still needs the patch below, would work with either style. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10448573/ $ python ./scripts/spdxcheck.py include/dt-bindings/reset/amlogic,meson-axg-reset.h: 9:41 Invalid License ID: BSD or for more verbose output $ python ./scripts/spdxcheck.py -v include/dt-bindings/reset/amlogic,meson-axg-reset.h: 9:41 Invalid License ID: BSD License files: 14 Exception files: 1 License IDs 19 Exception IDs 1 Files checked: 60967 Lines checked: 646729 Files with SPDX: 17393 Files with errors: 1
