Now, nobody knows. We still have to use something like changelog messages and what not, which is hardly better. We could even mark packages with e.g. `Provides: license(callaway)`, which would make easier to query where we stand. IMHO it is still is not late to do something like this!Could we wrap remaining Callaway names in a `LicenseRef-` (similar to your "callaway(MIT)" idea but sort of SPDX-conformant)? Red Hat is doing something like this in RHEL SBOMs, currently. Jilayne?
if we wanted to go this route, then yes, adding "LicenseRef-" to the non-SPDX ids would be a better route.
The only thing is - where there are Callaway ids that are also SPDX-conformant, e.g., "MIT" but have different meanings.
But I suppose we simply wouldn't touch those, as they need to be manually inspected in any case?
