See [1] for example. While not strictly adhering to DEP-5 I consider it useful to have a machine-readable-with-SPDX-identifiers and I’m not sure how useful it is to try and translate upstream-provided SPDX identifiers into something else. Our spec [2] already defines an equivalence rule between License-X and License-X.0 declarations for SPDX compatibility. For what I’ve seen on the quite vast and diverse KDE source corpus we’d only need 2 additional equivalence rules to be added to matches what that upstream ships : - equivalence between the + and -or-later suffixes (GPL-2+ / GPL-2.0-or-later) - equivalence between MIT and Expat.
