What distros or upstream projects are actually using the SPDX format?

However, Fedora's use of license abbreviations is different in nature from that of SPDX, so I'd be concerned that use of the SPDX abbreviations would result in confusion (or else a costly change to Fedora's practices). (Separately I consider the SPDX identifiers problematic because in a number of cases they clash with common organic community abbreviations which happen to be in wide use in the Fedora community.)
