Once upon a time, Maxwell G via devel <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> said:
I already brought this up previously, but how will we handle license
identifiers such as MIT that are valid in both SPDX and Fedora but have
different meanings? We won't know whether it's specifically referring to the
MIT/Expat License (SPDX) or a group of MIT-like licenses (Fedora) and we won't
be able to tell which specfiles have been converted to use SPDX identifiers and
which haven't.
Would it make sense to make ALL the new tags be SPDX:<tag>, at least for
an interim period (of years most likely) where both old and new tags are
allowed?
