I just tried to be as specific and unambiguous as possible. It didn't seem like the wording was that rigid when there was a large collection of wording variants all called "MIT". A shellscript is a program, so as the author I can change it to say "program" if that helps: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/pull-request/262 > matching is case insensitive. That's good because I strongly dislike entire paragraphs of shouting uppercase letters. > 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. In general I think it would help if SPDX were more flexible about the word choice in such cases, so a license could be applied to a program, a library, a document, a single file or a collection of software. For this particular case it's not needed if my merge request is accepted. Björn Persson
