Just use regular SPDX header at the top of the file in a # comment block?
Miguel ? Kent ?
In the kernel at least, all files (including docs) should have an SPDX line.
However, configuration files which use a publicly documented format (things like dot files) are not copyrightable apparently, and it was proposed that the `scripts/spdxexclude` kernel script excludes those [1], but the patch has not been merged (yet?) since I raised a couple questions about how to handle those (sorry...).
So I am not sure if e.g. `Cargo.toml` should have a SPDX license identifier or not.
