Which leads back to my earlier point that the KES language specifically scopes the additional permission to the Linux kernel, so no one could use it "as-is" for another project. If the kernel community won't use the SPDX identifier, who will use it? If someone does modify their license with an additional permission at the project/file level, I would be more open to discussing adding a reference to the specific language used to enable it. Let's make a reference to the exception they use.

It's also important to read Grant's email which I see split off into the other thread where Jilayne and Phillipe did a great job analyzing the variants of the KES and GPLCC.
