Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

a silly rwlock deadlock problem, the deadlock is caused by writer
waiters, if a thread has already locked a reader lock, and wants to

functions set or get pthread_rwlock type, current supported types are:
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_READER_NP,
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONRECURSIVE_NP,
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NP,
default is PTHREAD_RWLOCK_PREFER_WRITER_NONCECURSIVE_NP, this maintains
binary compatible with old code.
