Preferably the SPDX identifier is an obvious expression of what the license notice stated or the copyright holders cleaned up any ambiguities. I don't personally have a strong opinion either way. I appreciate the legal consistency of choosing 2.0 where we can (consistent with 2.0 in LICENSES/preferred, and 1.0 in LICENSES/deprecated), and I respect the people who were arguing for dropping 1.0. So, if I had to make the call, I'd probably go with 2.0-or-later. But, I'm fine with whatever is chosen. Allison
