A few years ago the FSF moved and "59 Temple Place" is wrong. Having

Let's take the license statement serious and not confuse users.
As https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html suggests, we replace
the
postal address with "<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>" in the samples
directory.
What would be best is to just put the SPDX single line at the top of
the
files, and then remove this license "boilerplate" entirely. I've
started to do that with some subsystems already (drivers/usb/ and
drivers/tty/ are almost finished, see Linus's tree for details), and
I've sent out a patch series for drivers/s390/ yesterday if you want to
see an example of how to do it.
Could you do that here instead of this patch as well?
Is there consensus about this? I'm not a layer, but is this clear enough
for
useres? And what holds against only adding the new SPDX tag line at the
top?
Other than I don't like mixing // and /**/ comments, it indeed looks
quite clean. Is there consensus about the syntax too?
thanks
