--- Comment #4 from richard.purdie at linuxfoundation dot org ---
I would love to see this as it would significantly improve license identifier
coverage of our code. Yocto Project uses the debug symbol/file information to
work out which files contribute to a given binary and if those have SPDX    
identifiers, we can give a reasonable indication of the license for the binary.

Is this something you'd accept incremental work on over time? Resolving the
files which aren't the "standard" license would be particularly beneficial but
wider coverage would be great too.

Have you given thought to what format would you want these changes in? In some
projects (including our own Bitbake/OpenEmbedded-Core) we ended up replacing
the license boilerplate with the SPDX-License-Identifier as it simplified and
made things really clear. In some projects they just add the identifier and
leave the existing license declaration. I'm not sure which glibc would prefer?
