Szymon Janc commented on RAT-251:
---------------------------------

isn't presence of SPDX identifier alone enough to determine licence?
my understanding is that it is it purpose to make machine checks easy,  also 
some projects we import code from (eg Zephyr Project) don't put whole license 
into headers, just SPDX identifier
