Hi,

Maybe start off by checking other files, eg.the documentation files first. The dissectors are the easy targets.

Thanks,,

Since this patch was merged, should we start replacing (manually or automaticly) the license info in other files such as dissectors?

Earlier today I gave a short talk about navigating Wireshark's source code. One thing I mentioned is that we have quite a bit of boilerplate at the top and bottom of most files, and in the past this has confused git when copying and renaming files (for me, at least).

I've uploaded a change at https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/24302/ which starts the process of replacing the GPLv2-or-later blurb at the top of various files with "SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+". Is there any reason we shouldn't go ahead with this?
