While I agree with some of what you're saying here, the problem is
that it is, in fact, *not trivial* in many cases.
Migrating the License tag from Callaway to SPDX identifiers is only
the "easy" part of the transition.
Re-reviewing package contents and re-classifying licenses is the
non-trivial part, and that definitely can't be scripted.
