Do you think putting this line anywhere, in any file, does it?
That would be crazy.

How about a book, e.g. describing a patch submission process (but not
a copy of kernel's Documentation). The same?

Also - in all countries? Most of them?

Come on.

Then why would we need the Signed-off-by?
From my perspective, the SPDX-License-Identifier is only meaningful when
the file is actually a part of the kernel, or if, at least, it's been
presented for merge, with Signed-off-by etc.
