    treewide: fix typos of SPDX-License-Identifier · 8e82fe2a
    Masahiro Yamada 提交于
    Prior to the adoption of SPDX, it was difficult for tools to determine
    the correct license due to incomplete or badly formatted license text.
    The SPDX solves this issue, assuming people can correctly spell
    "SPDX-License-Identifier" although this assumption is broken in some
    places.
    
    Since scripts/spdxcheck.py parses only lines that exactly matches to
    the correct tag, it cannot (should not) detect this kind of error.
    
    If the correct tag is missing, scripts/checkpatch.pl warns like this:
    
     WARNING: Missing or malformed SPDX-License-Identifier tag in line *
    
    So, people should notice it before the patch submission, but in reality
    broken tags sometimes slip in. The checkpatch warning is not useful for
    checking the committed files globally since large number of files still
    have no SPDX tag.
    
    Also, I am not sure about the legal effect when the SPDX tag is broken.
    
    Anyway, these typos are absolutely worth fixing. It is pretty easy to
    find suspicious lines by grep.
