Some of you have already noticed that this started in 2016 but as of 4.14, we had a major breakthrough and cleanup of all the files without a license reference all had SDPX identifiers added to them.
There are some good writeups of the work emerging. LWN has an excellent summary with links to more references at: https://lwn.net/Articles/739183/ There's also a good blog by one of the kernel developers from Samsung explaining how to add the identifiers as well that came out last week. https://blogs.s-osg.org/linux-kernel-license-practices-revisited-spdx/ Some other excellent documentation that has emerged including how to integrate SPDX one liners into a project is available at: https://reuse.software/practices/ which the linux kernel developers have consulted and worked with for the kernel. Thanks, Kate
