Got it!

I know that Rob previously indicated that the 'Copyright' string in the
above was redundant, but we have been told to keep this by the people at
NVIDIA that specify how we should be formatting such tags when adding
NVIDIA copyrights.

For the kernel, for most of us, most likely legally it is redundant and
Rob was right, but some companies insist on it and I don't want to
discuss with them, because they never use actual arguments except "my
legal told me I must do", so you can have it. That's not a problem.

Before I had requested we change this everywhere but there was concern that we would have slightly different variants in different places. What I could ask if for the kernel we can just use ...

SPDX-FileCopyrightText: <date> NVIDIA CORPORATION. All rights reserved.

Although I see some instances in the kernel with 'NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES' and so they may want ...

SPDX-FileCopyrightText: <date> NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES. All
rights reserved.

Anyway, would the above be acceptable?
