Correct, if I'm reading the SPDX license expression grammar correctly
(https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v3.0//annexes/SPDX-license-expressions/),
spaces would have to be converted and the hyphen is probably the only
sensible separator. So e.g. "BSD with advertising" becomes
"LicenseRef-Callaway-BSD-with-advertising".
