The SPDX reference pattern uses “Copyright (c)”, and the second
paragraph is in ALL CAPS. Furthermore, the Boehm-GC text says
“program” instead of “shellscript”.

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.
Björn has changed “shellscript” to “program”:
<https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/c/4580afce7cf577f324b7ba59fd44424d3d3b43ad?branch=rawhide
Is this sufficient to match SPDX Boehm-GC, even without the ALL CAPS and
(c) change?
yes.
Richard had meant to add the "shellscript" variation to the SPDX file
for the license, but having the copyright holder "fix" this at the
license level so there isn't such variation at all is even better!
Thanks Bjorn!
Sorry, I missed that you alread answered those questions, thanks.
So I think redhat-rpm-config is properly converted now.
Florian
