Is it documented somewhere that GPL 2.0 is the default in the absence
of an explicit SPDX or other license identifier ? I don't find it
in Documentation/process/license-rules.rst, though maybe I am missing
it.

I do not feel comfortable accepting this change without confirmation
that changing the license from <none> to an explicit <GPL v2.0> is
legally acceptable.

As with many of these, this file was initially added by Mauro (added to
CC).  Mauro, can you confirm that GPLv2 was your intention for these
index.rst files?  That would clear the path for a lot of these patches.

Thanks,

Yes, that's the intend. Feel free to add either:

	Reviewed-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org>

Or
	Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org>

to Documentation/*/index.rst files I wrote that might have missing:

	.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

on the top of it.

Thanks,
Mauro

Applied to hwmon-next.

Documentation/ is far behind on the SPDX front, and I'm all in favor of
fixing that.  I do worry, though, about sticking license declarations
onto files that did not previously have them; do we know what the
original contributor's intent was?

I added this one, and GPLv2 is fine there.

So I've applied patches 2 (since I wrote the initial file) and 8 (with
Takashi's ack).  The others are also fine, I think, but I hesitate to
apply license texts to files without knowing that they match the
author's intent.  I hate to say it, but I think the best approach is to
send each of the remaining patches to the appropriate maintainers for
the subsystem involved.

Thanks,

jon

That makes 100% sense, thank you, Jon!
