From a legal point of view (but IANAL by any means), we probably
could find an SPDX identifier matching the *current* license
statement of each individual file, to match the *current* intent.
This implicates that the *current* license is compatible with any
previous one or is confirmed by the holder of the previous license.
Changing *all* files might be doable, but I wouldn't feel
comfortable doing so, because it would require me to understand the
licensing details of every single file.
1) require *new* files having the SPDX identifier
2) (in a 2nd step) require modified files having that identifier
Both should be doable with hooks in our Git repo.
Theoretically 2) means we cannot change a file if we do not understand
its licensing details :-(
