Hi Lukas!

Sorry for the delay, my team is still responsible for maintenance of these ethernet drivers: qla3xxx and qlcnic.

The changes are quite natural, we already did similar spdx fixes on our current family of qed* drivers.

So here is my ACK for changes of these drivers license files.

> networking/device_drivers/qlogic/LICENSE.qla3xxx |   46 ---
> networking/device_drivers/qlogic/LICENSE.qlcnic  |  288 ----------------------

Do you want me to also reply to that original thread from Thomas?

Thanks,
   Igor
