That is not equivalent to GPL-2.0-or-later, if you assume it is possible the KDE Free Qt Foundation might not approve the FSF's GPLv4, say; how should this be represented as an SPDX expression? Should a new GPL exception be submitted to SPDX? Is it even what SPDX would classify as an "exception"? Does there need to be a 'Qt GPL' SPDX identifier to cover this case, which I think is unique to Qt? Should we just represent it as 'GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only'? (Surprised if this hasn't come up before in an SPDX context.) > # src/AnsiEscapeCodeHandler.[cpp|h] which is Qt-GPL-exception-1.0, More precisely, GPL-3.0-only WITH Qt-GPL-exception-1.0, I think. > # src/utils/qurltlds_p.h which is MPL-2.0 OR GPL-2.0-or-later OR > LGPL-2.1-or-later, Given the nature of this file, I'd just omit this.
