Miro Hrončok napsal(a):Could you make the comment something like this? # Automatically converted from old format: GPLv2 # TODO check if there are other licenses to be listed License: GPL-2.0-onlyWe (the Change owners) discussed this on a meeting today. And we agreed on output: # Automatically converted from old format: GPLv2 # TODO convert to correct SPDX identifier # See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/ License: LicenseRef-Callaway-GPLv2 This is valid SPDX identifier. But not on the list of Fedora's allowed licenses, so any QA tool will remind you to check the license. What do you think?
"LicenseRef-Callaway-GPLv2" would be a reminder that they need to generally check the actual license, and likely check whether this was intended to be GPL-2.0-only or GPL-2.0-or-later (assuming that GPLv2 was correct to begin with) Is that what you are thinking too, Miro?
Could you add an HTML anchor with GPLv2 specific information? Otherwise it looks a bit silly to anyone who isn't familiar with the GPLv2 ambiguity, and will likely result in unchecked replacement with GPL-2.0-only in many cases.
