The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Xcb::GeometryHints is a convenient wrapper around the size hints
as described in ICCCM combined with the sanity checks so far applied
by KWin after reading the property.
Instead of accessing the members of the property structure, we are
now using the convenience methods.
During ::manage no further actions are triggered when reading the
size hints. Only when they are read later on the previous checks
are applied. During ::manage they can be ignored as it had a dedicated
isManaged check.
The method ::resizeWithCheck got a new argument of type xcb_gravity_t
which defaults to 0. This is needed from ::configureRequest which so
far temporarily changed the xSizeHints structure. By passing as an
argument this is no longer needed.

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.

enabled by default, but will be made configurable soon. There is a known
issue with an incorrect geometry shown with konsole, but that's its fault,
and I'll get to that shortly (xterm does the right thing).
Disclaimer:
If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it probably needed replacing anyway.
