It was in the context of someone trying to tell someone else to do the
work for them of converting all of the existing files to use SPDX.  I've
never refused a patch from someone adding SPDX identifiers to the
kernel, in fact, _I'm_ the only one that has ever used such an
identifier on a kernel file :)
