Bug: https://github.com/scsitape/stenc/issues/95

* Add SPDX license information to remaining files

- converted AUTHORS to markdown
- added FSFUL license INSTALL.license as it is named in the header of INSTALL

- added SPDX license information for some files such as insignificant-files
  and uncopyrightable files.
  used GPL-2-or-later where possible, because this was the former
  statement of the project and in order to minimize the number of licenses
  used.

Stenc

SCSI Tape Encryption Manager - Manages encryption on LTO tape drives (starting with generation 4) with hardware-based encryption. Program should work on any other SCSI security protocol (SSP) capable tape drives. Built specifically for Linux. Supports key change auditing and key descriptors (uKAD).

Features

  • SCSI hardware-based encryption management
  • Supports Linux
  • Supports most SSP compliant devices, such as LTO-4 tape drives
  • Key change audit logging
  • AES Encryption
  • Key Descriptor Management
