Those are the identifiers, not the *logic*. SPDX and Fedora both use
the same boolean logic terms ("and"/"or"/"with") and support
parenthetical expressions. Fedora mandates lowercase, SPDX doesn't
care, but examples historically are uppercase. Fedora will retain its
expression logic system, complete with lowercase terms (since that
makes the expressions more readable).
