Hi
Updating mingw-sip I've re-verified the license to convert it to SPDX, and
came across the SIP license which does not exist as a SPDX identifier. [1]

SIP is available under the following licenses.

license used for Python itself.
I find this statement of similarity to the PSF license to be
disingenuous given that the SIP license adds a clause that
makes the license non-free IIUC:
RIVERBANK COMPUTING LIMITED LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR SIP
snip
4. Licensee may not use SIP to generate Python bindings for any C or
C++
library for which bindings are already provided by Riverbank.
This is an anti-competitive restriction on usage.

I take this should be
License: SIP OR GPL-v2.0-only OR GPL-v3.0-only
(provided SIP existed as a SPDX identifier)?
IIUC, since SIP looks like a non-free license, we would omit it from
SPDX expression in the RPM package, only listing the two GPL options.
With regards,
