[dpdk-dev] SPDX compliance for the 19.11 release

[Hemant Agrawal]

Hi all,
          Though large portion of DPDK code/scripts are now using SPDX license tags, there are still some old files having full license text without SPDX tags.  Their original authors/copyright holders are either not responding or not traceable.

Let's not wait for them forever.  Following patch just add the SPDX tags without removing the original license plate.

http://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/63225/  "add top level SPDX license identifier."

Please review and ack it.

Also, following related patches are ready for merge.  (they are acked or submitted by the copyright holders)


  1.  https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/57613/ "app/test_thash: replace license text with SPDX tag"
  2.  http://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/62801/  "examples/l2fwd-event: add missing SPDX license header"
  3.  https://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/62804/     "devtools: add SPDX license tag check script"


Finally, following patch is still waiting the Governing Board exception approval:
http://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/59976/  "[v2] pmdinfogen: add SPDX license tag"

Regards,
Hemant
