If we're going to add SPDX tags to existing files it needs to be done by a human, not an automated tool. If not possible, we should leave off SPDX tags, because adding incorrect SPDX tags creates more harm With regards, Daniel

OK in the next iteration I will fix this. This tool likely just looked at the COPYING file in bits and not the individual python files. > > https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html > > and is pretty different from > > https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause-Clear.html > > which adds a statement about patent rights which doens't exist. > > > If we're going to add SPDX tags to existing files it needs to be > done by a human, not an automated tool.
