github makes it actively hard to actually see the actual patch
differences, but trying to see what it is most of it seems to be

  +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

at the top of most files. It seems mostly redundant.

Is there no SPDX way to just state the exceptions? Ie just do "GPL2 is
the default, mark only the other files"?
