Nick, you *need* something we *want* but the form requires work. Removing the module license tag and all that other module boiler plate from modules which cannot possibly be modules is obviously welcomed. But there's a few issues, one of them is when we don't have SPDX license pegged on files. We *all* want SPDX files properly annotated on files. We *want* to automate the module license from the SPDX tag. It sounds hard but let's go for the long shot of striving to automate the module license from the SPDX tags. Let's break this down into a few steps that also benefit your goals: 1) Fix all all code which use the module license tag but cannot possibly be modules to ensure they all have proper SPDX tags. This is a welcomed effort. 2) Create an an association of existing module licenses from mod-objs object lists. 3) Verify these make sense with us. 4) With that list we can then infer a module license from things which *can* be modules. The trick is today we use the module license *for* that inference, however, look at the tristate, and see if you can add a POSSIBLE_MODULE as I noted and hinted before. That get's you a module license replacement. The final nail to all this is use that to replace all module licenses and have this done automatically. Luis
