swt2c      perl-Data-Validate-IP

I recently updated this package to use SPDX expressions:

GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0

However, I'm just realizing that Artistic-1.0 is NOT a valid Fedora license, which is probably why the package ended up on this list.

Since Fedora should be able to use this package under the GPL-1.0-or-later license, should I just update the License expression to that only?  Or alternatively, should I request that "GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0" be added as an allowed license, as I see that "GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0-Perl" is in the list.

I would not try adding Artistic-1.0 into allowed ones:

https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/37

You can talk to upstream. I recently witnessed that upstream used GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0 while they **intended** to use GPL-1.0-or-later OR Artistic-1.0-Perl.
