Hi Trishan, Jim,

SPP was provided originally from Intel, but currently is maintained by NTT and planed to change license to SPDX. We have made 
many changes on SPP and I would like to add NTT to the license only for considerably modified or newly created files by NTT. 
Could you give us advice if there are any concern?

Thanks,
Yasufumi
