--- Comment #21 from Chuck Lever <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Petr Pisar from comment #17)
> FIX: These licenses are missing from a License tag:

> Linux-syscall-note "exception"

So this is a peculiar case.

This header is machine-generated by a kernel script
(tools/net/ynl/ynl-regen.sh) which inserts that SPDX tag in the hope that it is
a broad enough license to satisfy any open source project requirements.

This file is copied directly from the Linux kernel
(include/uapi/linux/handshake.h) without alteration because we haven't found a
way of referring the ktls-utils build infrastructure to a Linux kernel uapi
header. Eventually src/tlshd/netlink.h is to be directly generated in user
space via the same script using a netlink spec source file.

In other words, the license of this file is not directly under the control of
ktls-utils. I do not believe it is proper to alter the SPDX tag on this file,
and the ynl-regen.sh tool does not provide an option to specify or alter the
SPDX tag it inserts in generated files.
