Would you mind using the new SPDX tags documented in Thomas patch set
[1] rather than this fine but longer legalese?

And if you could spread the word to others in your team this would be very nice.
See also this fine article posted by Mauro on the Samsung Open Source
Group Blog [2]
Thank you!

Per module.h this means GPL2 or later. This is not matching your
license above which does not state any version and therefore would
mean GPL1 or later,
Please make sure you use something and common rather than this and
make sure your MODULE_LICENSE is consistent with the top level
license.

Was it this way in the code from Krzysztof?
