Hey Dario,

You can specify multiple licenses:

See "Representing Multiple Licenses" in https://spdx.org/spdx-

Hi
Many files in the tree shows 2 alternative licenses (one above
all: epan/crypt/wep-wpadefs.h)

The headers says:

Which SPDX identifiers should we use in this case?

Would it be acceptable to use:

<code>
SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause

or alternatively

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
</code>

Thanks
Dario.
