New version of fedora-license-data and license-validate has been released.
NEW: the package fedora-license-data now contains BNF grammar which you can use. It is available in `/usr/share/fedora-license-data/grammar.lark`
Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
I updated the progress in this spreadsheet:

You converted about 300 license tags in 14 days.
New projection when we will be finished is 2024-07-07. Pure linear approximation.
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list

Either pull-request or email to me is fine.
Tip of the day:
We will have hackfest this week at Wednesday! There will be a short presentation for background and a demo on updating a package to start, then we'll work on packages and be available for questions and help. https://calendar.fedoraproject.org/SIGs/2023/4/26/#m10492d away.
Why ZX Spectrum? On this day, 41 years ago was sold the first ZX Spectrum. It was one of the first home computer. And it was my first computer too.

You can try it thanks to http://www.rastersoft.com/programas/fbzx.html
You will need fbzx and fuse-emulator-roms packages.
Do you hesitate how to proceed with the migration? Please follow
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/update-existing-packages/
or attend SPDX office hours (see different thread in this mailing list)
