Well, it is part of the SPDX spec, so it should be valid, no matter of personal tastes.
I'd say that we should clearly point what SPDX version is preferred at: Documentation/process/license-rules.rst
And, if we adopt version 3.0, change the described license tags accordingly, as the tags showed there are for some pre-version 3.0 SPDX version (but the file doesn't mention if it follows SPDX version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 or 2.1).
Anyway, for this specific patch:
