Re: [directory-discuss] Linking licenses to SPDX

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

One thing that I noticed 6 months ago when I investigated SPDX notation,
is that, at *that time*, they didn't provide all the notations for the
most used free/libre software license and it's variants, that is: GNU
AGPL/GPL. If I recall correctly, the notations missing are: for versions
2+, 3+ and combinations of both additional terms and exception variants
of 2+ and 3+. In spite of this, SPDX has notations for versions 2 and 3
("only").

There might be other problems with SPDX, but the subject in question
refers only to metadata.
