Hi Mirek,
I am a bit confused.
I thought there was a clear nonconsensus about the *GPL conversion [1] which resulted to the FESCo ticket [2]. It is kinda surprising to see the "Done." comment here and in the LGPL thread as well.

Ouch, now I am confused too.
You are right that the final wording is:
> !agreed FESCo is in favor of standardizing on the SPDX format and understands that not all licenses are ready for direct conversion. Those licenses that are unreviewed or otherwise not yet fully compliant should be converted to SPDX licenses of the format LicenseRef-<something indicating Fedora legacy>-* where * is the old Fedora identifier. (+8, 1, -0)
which means that I should stop doing that 1:1 (aka trivial) conversion and convert *everything* to LicenseRef-Callaway-*. But I was on that meeting - and if you read the log:
There was:
<@sgallagh:fedora.im>
17:52:01
Proposal: FESCo is
in favor of standardizing on the SPDX format and understands
that not all licenses are ready for this. Those that are not
should be converted to SPDX licenses to a format
`LicenseRef-<something indicating Fedora legacy>-*` where
"*" is the old format.
...
<@msuchy:matrix.org>
17:52:24
Can I have a clear
statement what to do with GPL* ?
....
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:54:04
The whole point
is to convert everything.
<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>
17:54:08
nirik: it'd be
GPLv2 -> GPL-2.0-only, GPLv2+ -> GPL-2.0-or-later
<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>
17:54:20
and so on
<@zbyszek:fedora.im>
17:54:22
Otherwise, it's
not syntactically valid.
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:54:26
sorry, I mixed up
msuchy's question with Neal's original response
<@nirik:matrix.scrye.com>
17:54:32
but then we have
0 way to tell what was converted? I guess we could look at
commits
<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>
17:54:56
after everything
is said and done, audits still need to be done separately
<@conan_kudo:matrix.org>
17:55:00
don't mistake
conversions for audits
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:55:05
we might need a
second vote to clarify what to do with ambiguous licenses
....
<@salimma:fedora.im>
17:58:24
so Stephen's
new proposal is quite clear that every legacy license we
can't convert to SPDX would be marked as
LicenseRef-<legacy>-* ... I think that addresses the
ambiguity
So I'd say that Neal statement in
17:54:08 put me in mistake that I should continue with 1:1 but
it is not in the final decision/statement.
