As the mentioned patent clause is there for 10+ years I might just believe
it went through Fedora Legal, as it is a much older legal related task than
I am co-maintainer of the openexr itself.

But I am fine with having conversation with the Legal team about the proper
SPDX license clause that should be used for this project.
