I was curious how many packages are already converted to SPDX.

I downloaded all spec files and count how many of them contains "spdx" string (case insensitive). Assuming most
packagers mention it either in changelog or in comment near License field.

The string is in 347 out of 23155 spec files. That is less than 2% of packages.

It is wild guess with many incorrect of assumtions, but I guess the order of magnitude is correct.

That is just FYI. I will not do anything to progress faster, because `fedora-license-data` has enough issues (and mainly
flow of new issues).

Hello, 

I didn't mention SPDX anywhere but I've converted dozens of Golang packages to it. Our tool, go2rpm, now outputs SPDX by default. 

Best regards,
