Those are the identifiers, not the *logic*. SPDX and Fedora both use
the same boolean logic terms ("and"/"or"/"with") and
support
parenthetical expressions. Fedora mandates lowercase, SPDX doesn't
care, but examples historically are uppercase. Fedora will retain its
expression logic system, complete with lowercase terms (since that
makes the expressions more readable).
Fine, but that's misleading in this context. Right now the tool flags
(and therefore bugs have been filed for) the identifiers as well.
Be well,
