+Ideally, the license terms of all files in the source tree should be
+defined by such License Identifiers; in no case a file can contain
+more than one such License Identifier list.

+If a "SPDX-License-Identifier:" line references more than one Unique
+License Identifier, then this means that the respective file can be
+used under the terms of either of these licenses, i. e. with

+ SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ BSD-3-Clause

+you can chose between GPL-2.0+ and BSD-3-Clause licensing.

We use the SPDX Unique License Identifiers here; these are available
at [2].
