--- Comment #4 from richard.purdie at linuxfoundation dot org ---
I would love to see this as it would significantly improve license identifi=
er
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=20=
=20=20=20
identifiers, we can give a reasonable indication of the license for the bin=
ary.

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 s=
ome
projects (including our own Bitbake/OpenEmbedded-Core) we ended up replacing
the license boilerplate with the SPDX-License-Identifier as it simplified a=
nd
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 pref=
er?
