I already *used* copyleft-next on Linux on a dual licensed manner, the
patches in question are about using SPDX to simpllify things and adaopt
the SPDX annotations.

And, to re-iterate once more, I'm using copyeft-next as that is *my*
license of choice for *any* new software projects I use and I want to enable
cross prolination between them. I have been doing this since I wrote
CRDA many years ago. I have many reasons for using copyleft-next and I've
listed many of the reasons why a free software developer would care to enable
this cross polination but yet again you seem to be disregarding all that.

This is similar to how 2-cluase BSD is compatible with the GPL
and is used for cross polination to BSDs even though in practice
a lot of that cross polination may not happen.

There are practical uses here and I've been using this license for years now
and I have no intention on stopping.
