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.
*nod*
1) Trivial example: how would you convert "BSD" string?
2) During past few months I have seen lots of packages that changed their license to something else and only scancode
reports revealed that to them.
3) Lots of license had long discussion if they should be allowed and how. E.g KDE uses LicenseRef-KDE-Accepted-LGPL
which is valide SPDX id, but is not allowed in Fedora and you have to use "|LGPL-2.1-only OR LGPL-3.0-only"|
|4) And you probably missed that every 14 days I include something like "5-10 new license were identified and added (to
SPDX list and to fedora-license-data). For lots of months. That is huge work that AFAIK no one before ever done. Across
whole IT world.
