Re: [Bug-librejs] odd librejs behavior on stallman.org

[bill-auger]

nathan -

im not clear what is the significant difference with the new spec - it
seems that the semantics of "human readable name of the license" has
been replaced with "identifier"; but you say that the list of valid
"identifiers" was taken from the v6 documentation - what role did the
"identifier" play previously?


--------
this was in response to nathan's reply to "Digest, Vol 57, Issue 1"
which was in  reply to john's "[Bug-librejs] odd librejs behavior on
stallman.org":
