Again, that is the SPDX new list, of course they want to depreciate older versions. But we started the kernel conversion _before_ the newer version was there, let's not worry about changing anything at this point in time as that is unneeded churn. For new files, fine, pick which ever tag you want to use as documented in the LICENSES/* files, but do not change existing ones please. thanks, greg k-h
