Shouldn;t this be a FILE_LICENSE_SPDX?  I'd also much prefer that over
the nasty C99 comments to start with.  And while I'm a bit behind on
email I still haven't managed to find a good rationale for those to
start with.

So it would be good to figure this out before people start spamming
the lists with all kinds of mass conversions and checkpatch fixes
for licensing..
