_one of_, not the one that did the most of he work, that would be Thomas :)

Ugh, what lunacy.  But drm_bridge.h is NOT under any "public domain"
license, so why is that an issue here?  This looks like a "normal" bsd 3
clause license to me, right?

So I would just use "BSD-3-Clause" as the SPDX license here, if I were
doing this patch...
