It's not going away. Well, the top bit that I quoted above says that the licenses refer to only that one file in particular and not the project as a whole. Then the X11 license states that the notice can't be removed from 'this software and associated documentation files (the "Software")' which would seem to refer to the single file. Therefore, removing the notice from the single file and replacing it with an SPDX header would seem to violate the license. It's a fine point but it makes me nervous. I originally based my .dts on sun4i-a10-inet1.dts. I've CC'd the original copyright holder, Hans de Goede. Hans, are you willing to give permission for the license notice to be replaced with just an SPDX header indicating the dual licensing? While we're at it, there are a number of other files with the same license text. Hans, are you prepared to give permission for your other license notices to be replaced with SPDX headers?

Then the X11 license states that the notice can't be removed from 'this software and associated documentation files (the "Software")' which would seem to refer to the single file. Therefore, removing the notice from the single file and replacing it with an SPDX header would seem to violate the license. It's a fine point but it makes me nervous. I originally based my .dts on sun4i-a10-inet1.dts. I've CC'd the original copyright holder, Hans de Goede. Hans, are you willing to give permission for the license notice to be replaced with just an SPDX header indicating the dual licensing? While we're at it, there are a number of other files with the same license text. Hans, are you prepared to give permission for your other license notices to be replaced with SPDX headers?
