As the SPDX Change slowly finishes I focused on the license that I regularly report as:

  warning: not valid neither as Callaway nor as SPDX, please check

These are license tags that are hard to automatically parse. It include texts like "GPLv1 AND/OR GPLv2", free form description of exceptions, licenses that were not listed in old Licensing wiki etc. And sometimes just a typo.

If your package is listed below, I will be very glad if you check your License tag and convert it to SPDX formula.

The general guidance for conversion is https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/ But if you still need a guidance, then please let me know. Either here publicly or off-list.

Maintainers by package:
opencascade          hobbes1069

Per upstream opencascade is "GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 with additional exception" 

https://dev.opencascade.org/resources/licensing

Does that translate to "LGPL-2.1-only with additional exception"?

perl-RPC-XML         hobbes1069 jplesnik ppisar

This one I have no idea what to do with: 

License:    (Artistic 2.0 or Artistic or LGPLv2) and (Artistic 2.0 or LGPLv2)

Thanks,

Richard
