I'd say you're right with the absence of indication to the contrary - but if someone explicitly states something is not (e.g. yet) under GPL, then how one could say SPDX-something has legal precedence is beyound me. >> Also - in all countries?

Well, that's my position. >> From my perspective, the SPDX-License-Identifier is only meaningful when >> the file is actually a part of the kernel, or if, at least, it's been >> presented for merge, with Signed-off-by etc. > > Not true at all, sorry. Same for a Copyright line. The difference seems to me a copyright is regulated by international agreements and various national laws. A big part of the world doesn't need the "copyright line", the "protection" is automatic. But yes, I will remember to ask our lawyers about it.
