We will get valid SPDX formula.
Some legacy license names contain spaces.  Simply slapping
"LicenseRef-Fedora-" on the front will only affect the first word of
such multiword license names, resulting in an invalid SPDX formula.
We would also have to convert those spaces to hyphens, right?
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".

correct re: spacing and your example
