First of all, I'm so impressed with the diligence of Fedora package maintainers! Even though Miroslav's numbers show slowing, there is a lot of activity in the Fedora-license-data repo and I'm also seeing lots of contributions to the SPDX License List.
I also wanted to note that I'm aware of the high number of "blocked on SPDX" issues in the Fedora license data (and corresponding issues on the SPDX side). The SPDX License List is slated for its next release at the end of September and I'm working hard to ensure all the open issues get incorporated by then.
If you have an open license request in SPDX - it is SUPER helpful if, once the license has been marked as accepted, you can help make the PR for the files to be added.
(practically speaking - there are two of us as maintainers who can merge PRs in the SPDX License List: my co-lead Steve W and me. We have a policy to not merge our own PRs, and I know that Steve is going to be busy and not as available for a bit in the near term, so if other people make the PRs, it makes it easer/faster for me to merge them - if that makes sense :)
Also - huge thanks to Richard and Miroslav for staying on top of the Fedora-license-list issues and creating TOML files!!
gotta love when collaboration happens across communities!
Cheers,
Jilayne

Předmět: SPDX Statistics - Marco Polo edition Datum: Fri, 15 Sep 2023 07:38:26 +0200 Od: Miroslav Suchý <msuchy@xxxxxxxxxx> Společnost: Red Hat Czech, s.r.o. Komu: Development discussions related to Fedora <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Two weeks ago we had:
* 23128 spec files in Fedora
* 29572 license tags in all spec files
* 16519 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 6059 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 44.14% ░░░░██████ 100%
ELN subset:
825 out of 2479 packages are not converted yet
Today we have:
* 23143 spec files in Fedora
* 29600 license tags in all spec files
* 16169 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 5903 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 45.35% ░░░░██████ 100%
ELN subset:
603 out of 2986 packages are not converted yet
Graph with the burndown chart:

List of packages from ELN subset that needs to be converted:
https://pagure.io/copr/license-validate/blob/main/f/eln-not-migrated.txt
New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With 17 new licenses (plus bunch of public domain declarations). 31 licenses are waiting to be review by SPDX.org (and then to be added to fedora-license-data).
Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list
New projection when we will be finished is 2025-01-30 (we are slowing down. Again. :( ). Pure linear approximation.

Either pull-request or direct email to me is fine.
Why Marco Polo edition? On today's date at 1254, an Italian merchant Marco Polo was born. He traveled to Asia (today's China). It took him 4 years to get there, 3 years to get back. And he stayed 17 years there. He wrote a book Millione about this travel. That made him famous and even nowadays is great insight about Asia of that time.
