Until one week ago, this was not possible, because SPDX headers were broken for GFDL: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/686 https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/970 There are 2 types of GFDL licenses: - a Free license where the entire document allows reviewing/changing; - a non-free variant, were some parts of the document have a non-free license, where only the author can change (called invariant parts). Basically, some distro policies don't allow shipping documents under the non-free version of GFDL. The SPDX spec (up to version 3.9) doesn't allow differentiating between them. - There's now an upstream patch (at SPDX) to be merged on the upcoming versin 3.10 that will allow us to finally get rid of those: https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/pull/1048/commits/f695d2ac65230d0f4161ba58fff2f9d87bb5a053#diff-b948674e5c5cf6341e44e76b2565e80c The GFDL-1.2 with no invariant sections is defined as: <SPDXLicenseCollection xmlns="http://www.spdx.org/license";> <license licenseId="GFDL-1.2-only-no-invariants" isOsiApproved="false" name="GNU Free Documentation License v1.2 only - no invariants"> <crossRefs> <crossRef>https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/fdl-1.2.txt</crossRef> </crossRefs> <standardLicenseHeader> Copyright (c) <alt name="copyright" match=".+">YEAR YOUR NAME</alt>.
