Most probably it is because of copy-paste as you stated, and I don't know what does it mean to hold the copyright in the makefile indeed J. cc'ed Hemant and Olivier. But removing an existing copyright may mean involving legal and may take time, unfortunately. It may be easier to just do the SPDX updates with existing coypright, but if you have motivation I suggest try to fix this. >> >> <...> >> >>> @@ -1,34 +1,6 @@ >>> -/*- >>> - * BSD LICENSE >>> - * >>> - * Copyright(c) Broadcom Limited. >>> +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause >>> + * Copyright(c) 2014-2018 Broadcom >>> * All rights reserved. >> It might be nit-picking but we don't have leading spaces [1] in format, are >> they >> intentional? >> If not it is easy to fix when introduced otherwise will stay as it is >> forever J > Yes, it was intentional.
