The SPDX XML file for Boehm-GC: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/main/src/Boehm-GC.xml does not account for "shellscript" as an alternative to "program". In SPDX (https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v2-draft/license-matching-guidelines-and-templates/) Details of copyright notices are ignored for matching purposes and matching is case insensitive. Fedora is basically adopting the SPDX understanding of what "matching" means for purposes of using SPDX identifiers. So probably what would need to be done here is getting SPDX to modify the XML for Boehm-GC rather than assign a new identifier for this variant.
