Typical example is
MIT
this is valid string in old system. And also in the SPDX format. But
the old MIT represented whole family. It can be actually anything from
$ license-fedora2spdx'MIT'
Warning: more options on how to interpret MIT. Possible options:
['mpich2', 'libtiff', 'Xfig', 'UnixCrypt',
'SMLNJ', 'SGI-B-2.0',
'NTP', 'MIT', 'MIT-open-group', 'MIT-feh',
'MIT-enna',
'MIT-Modern-Variant', 'MIT-F
estival', 'MIT-CMU', 'ICU', 'HPND',
'HPND-sell-variant', 'HP-1986',
'Boehm-GC', 'BSL-1.0', 'Adobe-Glyph']
{{pick MIT choice}}
It can be converted to MIT, but also to ICU or HPND... and without any
indication in the changelog there is no way to know if you check it or
not.
This is probably a good explanation to add to our Updating Existing
Packages documentation page. I've added an issue as a reminder. Need to
probably do a documentation update soon...
