[PATCH 00/10] Treewide GPL SPDX conversion (love letter to Didi)

I trigger this patch series because of Didi's GPL full name fixes
attempt [1], for which all of them had been NAKed. In many cases, the
appropriate correction is to use SPDX license identifier instead.

Often, when replacing license notice boilerplates with their equivalent
SPDX identifier, the notice doesn't mention explicit GPL version. Greg
[2] replied this question by falling back to GPL 1.0 (more precisely
GPL 1.0+ in order to be compatible with GPL 2.0 used by Linux kernel),
although there are exceptions (mostly resolved by inferring from
older patches covering similar situation).

Happy reviewing!
