Would you consider doing the same for Documentation/core-api/idr.rst?
That's the only CC-SA SPDX tag in the kernel now, and it's a clear
example of just what I'm worried about: it pulls in a nice DOC section
from the code when you run Sphinx on it, so we're not just talking
function prototypes here.  I was likely to come knocking on your door
after my upcoming conversation anyway...:)

Thanks,

This is (obviously) not legal advice.

I had an informal chat with Bradley Kuhn at LinuxCon Japan about using
CC-BY-SA-4.0 and he indicated that I was probably better off using the
GPL-2(+) for documentation.  I've changed the XArray documentation from
CC-BY-SA-4.0 to GPL-2+.

YMMV, defer to the LF lawyer, but I thought it worth providing a data
point.

Wow! I only wanted to confirm it booted and/or run for a while -- but
having more information is always good. Thanks a *lot*!

I will add a reference to your email in the commits.

Cheers,
