Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] SPDX identifiers

It seems that licensecheck complains about it. I guess the identifier should not have trailers.

Hi!

In case you have not noticed, Dario and others have been working on
converting license blurbs to SPDX identifiers.

The current identifiers can be found with:

git grep -he SPDX-License-Identifier ':!tools/licensecheck.pl' | grep -Po ':\s\K[^*]*' | sed 's/ *$//' | sort | uniq -cd | sort -nr

which gives:

   3651 GPL-2.0-or-later
     20 MIT
     11 (BSD-3-Clause OR GPL-2.0-only)
     11 BSD-3-Clause
      6 BSD-2-Clause
      5 LGPL-2.0-or-later
      3 Zlib
      2 (ISC OR GPL-2.0-only)
      2 ISC

Note that the regex matches everything up to and before "*" since some
files just end before the multi-line comment marker:

     * SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later*/

Is this desirable, or should it be put on a separate line? At the moment
there are 431 files that have this problem, as found by:

    git grep -e 'SPDX-License-Identifier.*\*/' ':!tools/licensecheck.pl' | wc -l

This can be fixed automatically, but I am asking just to be sure.
