[yocto] [opkg-devel] [OE-core][opkg-utils ] Bug 13528 : adding SPDX license identifier

[Ycn aKaJoseph]

Hi,

GPL-2.0-only was applied to script without previous Licences and
GPL-2.0-or-later to those mentioning it, however I'm wondering if I should
also add a SPDX id to the makefile ?

Here's first attempt without identifier to the Makefile.

Best regards,
