Re: SPDX license question
J Lovejoy
Hi Bob,
Thanks for asking! My additional comments to Kate’s also below:
As per SPDX 2.0, this license would currently be expressed as a Lic-Ref (section 5 of the spec), as we don’t currently have a way to represent a valid license identifier (e.g., “GPL-2.0”) with an exception not on our list. This is functionality we discussed adding in a future version (e.g., a Lic-Ref equivalent for exceptions), but it remains to be seen when that will get added. I would strongly urge against adding this as a new license in whole. Now that we have the license expression syntax for exception (“WITH”), and have moved all such exceptions to their own list, we ought to be consistent in that going forward. :)
Thanks!! Jilayne
