Side note: The SPDX spec in section D.2 says: "License expression
operators (AND, OR and WITH) should be matched in a case-sensitive
manner.". Should is not must. So I assume checkpatch and spdxcheck
should handle both cases. Especially because:
|linux (git)-[master] % git grep 'SPDX' | grep ' or ' | wc -l
|370
Thanks,
