Re: [SPDX] packages that are "not valid neither as Callaway nor as SPDX"

Personally, I think this is a great approach for files that already have verbose license breakdown comments above the License tag. Such breakdowns are technically no longer required[1], but I find they are still a great help when maintaining or auditing packages with complex licensing. I will probably give it this suggestion try the next time I update one of those packages.

Neat. This would allow to slap in some comments, right? E.g:


~~~

License:        %{shrink:
                %dnl src/*.*
                MIT AND
                BSL-1.0 AND %dnl doc/*.*
                BSD-2-Clause AND
                (Apache-2.0 OR MIT OR BSL-1.0)
                }

Technically yes, but please do not.

There is already

  https://reuse.software/

that has structure, documentation, linters, libraries...


But that is upstream stuff, isn't it?

My idea is to replace blocks like:

~~~

# MIT: src/*.*
# BSL-1.0: doc/*.*
License:        %{shrink:
                MIT AND
                BSL-1.0 AND
                BSD-2-Clause AND
                (Apache-2.0 OR MIT OR BSL-1.0)
                }

~~~


which are hardly any better.




Somehow incorporating this would be great.


Don't disagree, but this is IMHO orthogonal to my proposal.
