The new script uses the SPDX webpages to create the license file. I

As usual, it is easier if you clearly state the purpose of the file
you want, and its desired properties, like data content, format, etc.
What about:
https://spdx.github.io/license-list-data/
This is apparently a draft version of
https://spdx.org/licenses/index.html which is used by the script to
generate the local license file.
Strip out the table entries and create what you want with a command or
script.
The spdx-check script from the patch optionally (-m, -u) downloads
https://spdx.org/licenses/index.html and creates the local spdx-licenses
file intended to distribute with cygport. The file is grep'able.and
reduced to the bare minimum for this use case.
and everything under:
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data
I didn't find a single file which lists the licenses there.
GH does not always make access easy, ...
... including that github.com is still unreachable via IPv6 without
NAT64 (except for downloads from raw.githubusercontent.com) ...
... with its limited online displays and fixed display orders, and
searches return a lot of junk, without easy access to better searching
in context, but try:
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/licenses.md
which also has xrefs to the text files; also there are:
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/json/licenses.json
https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/main/json/exceptions.json
which can be easily processed using `jq`.
Indeed, thanks. I obviously missed these files when I wrote the
spdx-check script some month ago.
The current file format used by the script could then be created with:
url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spdx/license-list-data/main/json";
wget -O - "$url/licenses.json" \
| jq -j '
.licenses[] | (
if .isDeprecatedLicenseId then "!" else "" end,
.licenseId,
"\n"
)'
wget -O - "$url/exceptions.json" \
| jq -j '
.exceptions[] | (
if .isDeprecatedLicenseId then "!&" else "&" end,
.licenseExceptionId,
"\n"
)'
This adds these license ids not yet mentioned at
https://spdx.org/licenses/index.html:
AMD-newlib, BSD-2-clause-first-lines, Catharon, HPND-UC-export-US,
MIT-Khronos-old, NCL, OAR, Sun-PPP-2000, pkgconf, threeparttable, xzoom
I could provide a new patch with an updated script if desired.
