I already brought this up previously, but how will we handle license 
identifiers such as MIT that are valid in both SPDX and Fedora but have 
different meanings? We won't know whether it's specifically referring to the 
MIT/Expat License (SPDX) or a group of MIT-like licenses (Fedora) and we won't 
be able to tell which specfiles have been converted to use SPDX identifiers and 
which haven't.

From the Change Proposal:
