Hi, now with the very recent release of openssl 3.0 [1], I think we have to

[2] tivial script that only covers files with SPDX-tags though:
~~~
grep -r SPDX-License-Identifier --include "*.cpp" --include "*.c" \
--include "*.hpp" --include "*.h" --include "*.cmake" | cut -f2- -d: | \
sed 's/.*SPDX-License-Identifier://g'| sed 's/[ |\*]*$//g'|sort | uniq -c
~~~
