There is absolutely no public track record of any discussion. And if there was any it seems like a large number of the biggest contributors and copyright holders in the kernel were excluded. So please state what was decided, where it was deciced, who decided it and why as a start. This whole debacle is not how we normally communicate big changes in the kernel community, and that is double worrisome because it is an important area with legal implications. > "which" tag is just SPDX, that's easy.

But that doesn't provide a stable defintion, nevermind that we do not even have a pointer to it from anywhere in the tree. If your use of SPDX is apparently fine because people must know I'll just invent my own tags and mandate them [1]. [1] not that I have anything about the SPDX tags in particular, it's just the way you rush them in without even defining them for us.
