Why would exempting intel wired drivers be
necessary or useful?

I think it would be better if the kernel
source files used a consistent tag format.

The script I wrote is basically a sed that
simply updates the SPDX license text.

That is not particular different that Thomas's
original script that added the SPDX tags.

I have no intention of claiming anything like
a copyright on the output of a trivial script.
