Any idea why calm complained about this license key? It's listed at
https://spdx.org/licenses/.
I suspect this is because that license was added in version 3.20 of the list,
and the python module currently used to parse and validate the license
expressions only contains and older version.
It looks like maybe I need to write some stuff to automatically fetch the latest
list and feed it into that module...
ITP SPDX-licence-check?, then cygport and calm can depend on it, and we can all
be the patrol cop pulling over packages to check their licences ;^>
SPDX appears to be like tzdb was years ago, with both code and data updates
every release, so don't *have* to worry about splitting.
Good enough for calm is good enough for us, and anyone who doen't like something
can offer patches.
