They're using the matching identifiers. I'm hesitant to go down this road for a number of reasons: 1) It's a LOT of change for very little benefit. We're talking about changing practically every single spec. 2) We simplify license tags in Fedora. We call a lot of functionally identical licenses BSD and MIT, which the SPDX model insists are unique and different licenses. We'd have to stop doing that. 3) Every exception will need a new SPDX tag, we can't just use "GPLv2 with exceptions" anymore 4) Every firmware license will need to be listed explicitly. 5) It implies that we're planning on implementing the full SPDX specification. And we're not. For those reasons, I'd vote no on this. ~tom == Red Hat _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
