Hot news:
- Many times I had to open PR and convert the license tag for package despite the fact that I already converted it
previously. That is because a maintainer keeps the spec file somewehere else (in upstream) and on release just copy it
to dist-git. If this is your workflow please sync upstream with Fedora's dist-git first.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_spec_maintenance_and_canonicity
- The remaining packages usually contains either Public Domain or some variant of Redistributable. The conversion is
slow. If you want to help with these, here are guidelines:

Two weeks ago we had:
* 24426spec files in Fedora
* 31052license tags in all spec files
* 5918 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 181 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 81,11% ░░░░░░░░██100%
ELN subset:
140 out of 2325 packages are not converted yet (progress 93.98%)
Today we have:
* 24378spec files in Fedora
* 31014license tags in all spec files
* 5359 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 149 tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 82,72% ░░░░░░░░██100%
ELN subset:
71 out of 2320 packages are not converted yet (progress 96.94%)

The list of packages needed to be converted is here:

Packages that are neither in SPDX nor in Callaway format (highest priority for
now) - 101 packages:

New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With:
4 new licenses and several public domain or ultrapermissive dedications
7 licenses are waiting to be reviewed by SPDX.org (and then to be added to fedora-license-data)

Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
New projection when we will be finished is 2025-03-29 (+2 days from last
report). Pure linear approximation.
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license
tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list

Either pull-request or direct email to me is fine.
Why Peek Edition? Becase on today's date in 1951, Kim Peek was born. He was inspiration for the movie Rain Man. And his
true story and live is as good too.
