Part of the license categorising issue here (eplv2/epl-2.0 aside) is that most of the libraries I've scanned declare their license with a name (as opposed to an SPDX expression). In the cddl example above, I'd hazard a guess that the generated SBOM literally says the words "cddl-1.0 or gpl-2.0-with-classpath-exception" so we'll have to get into string parsing within and trying to understand the "or" expression in there too. There's also a class of issue with multiple-license software which is that if the above was encoded in CDX as two licenses "cddl-1.0" and "gpl-2.0...", we have no way to tell if that's AND or OR, and I believe both are possible which makes it difficult to decide what category this belongs in. Looking into these now, but I wrote the above for discussion! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
