Hi,

 

I would like to request below license exception to be added to the SPDX specification.

This exception is popping up in open source project related the Swift programming language maintained by Apple.

Its text is close in intention to the LLVM-exception but lack the whole GPL-2.0 text found in LLVM.

 

@Gary I tried submitting via the SPDX Submit New License tool http://13.57.134.254/app/submit_new_license/ but keeps on give “Please enter valid URL” for below URLs.

Happy to help you debug this issue, just point me to the code and I fill a PR.
