Isn't SPDX identifier enough these days? > It be nice we don't need it, but not sure. Looking into kernel tree, there is > LICENSES folder [1] and they describe how they use SPDX [2]: My perspective is to stay on the safe side, keep one in the LTP root dir and one in the subproject(e.g. open_posix). The general files go with the SPDX identifier header. -- Regards, Li Wang
