DEP-5 is nice, but how can I specify a license for a file with white
spaces? For example you want to specify that the file "foo/file
one.bar" is licensed under ISC, but "foo/file_one.bar" is licensed
under GPL. How can you do that?
No, that distinction isn't representable.
This one is representable. You can take advantage of the fact the "the
last paragraph that matches a particular file applies to it":
| Files: foo/file?one.bar
| License: ISC
|
| Files: foo/file_one.bar
| License: GPL
That said, you _can_ construct even more contrived examples which are
unrepresentable, e.g. by replacing "_" with a tab.
The general way to specify information for a file name that contains
whitespace is to use wildcards to match the whitespace,
That works only if you can stand ugliness of such Files fields.
