So that GPL header at begining of each file becomes one line... and so
that if it is BSD/GPL dual licensed is plain to see, and I don't have
to read the notices saying "oh this is gpl.. but if you want to,
delete gpl above and use license below".
That won't happen though. You'd require every single corporate legal
department of every large company that touched the file to agree that the
SPDX was equivalent to the content, and some of them probably won't.
Lawyers don't seem to believe in #include <legalese.h>
Umm. I'd still like to see SPDX where corporate lawyers allow that,
and for new files.
