Research direction
Start by reading the provided links about SPDX and REUSE practices. The linked licensedigger tool (https://invent.kde.org/sdk/licensedigger) can automate some of the conversion. Begin with a small subdirectory to test the process, then expand to the entire codebase. Coordinate with maintainers to ensure the headers follow the project's conventions.
