Nick, I've just dropped your series. Please only re-submit only for
files where the license is clear. The effort of clarifying licenses
on files where one doesn't have an SPDX tag is welcomed but can take
time and we'll need this anyway in the future to help later strive to
see if we can automatically generate the MODULE_LICENSE() from the
SPDX tags.
