To help address any issues that you might have with your own files being modified, could you please just submit a patch to add the proper SPDX header and place whatever text you feel is "correct" in them? That way you know your files are fine. I'll gladly review and submit any patches you create for this, it would be most helpful. Same offer to any other copyright holder (Richard, want to do this for all Red Hat owned files?) Note, other copyright holders have already done this, you will note that there are many subsystems/areas of the kernel that are already cleaned up because of this. thanks, greg k-h
