If I see BSD, I know it is a (legacy) Fedora id, and if it is BSD-2-Clause it should be SPDX. MIT is the case I am aware of where it is both a (legacy) Fedora id, and a valid SPDX id, but can refer to different underlying license terms. I am not saying that one can convert from Fedora BSD to SPDX BSD-n-clause without examination (work!), but if it has been converted it is obvious from the id being used (well, except for MIT, and ???? others?) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
