Public bug reported:
Ubuntu release: 24.04.2 LTS
Package version: 3.3.9-1ubuntu1
Current behavior:
When using --shortname-scheme=spdx, licensecheck converts valid AGPL,
GPL and LGPL SPDX license identifiers to non-SPDX license names
(according to the SPDX License List 3.26.0), removing relevant
information that cannot be recovered from the extracted license name:
AGPL-1.0-only becomes AGPL-1.0
AGPL-1.0-or-later becomes AGPL-1.0
AGPL-3.0-only becomes AGPLv3
AGPL-3.0-or-later becomes AGPLv3
GPL-1.0-only becomes GPL-1.0
GPL-1.0-or-later becomes GPL-1.0
GPL-2.0-only becomes GPL-2
GPL-2.0-or-later becomes GPL-2
GPL-3.0-only becomes GPL-3
GPL-3.0-or-later becomes GPL-3
LGPL-2.0-only becomes LGPL-2
LGPL-2.0-or-later becomes LGPL-2
LGPL-2.1-only becomes LGPL-2.1
LGPL-2.1-or-later becomes LGPL-2.1
LGPL-3.0-only becomes LGPL-3
LGPL-3.0-or-later becomes LGPL-3
Additionally, when a composite license expression (such as GPL-2.0-or-
later OR MIT) is supplied, only the first license is recognized and
presented in degraded form.
Expected behavior:
Llicensecheck --shortname-scheme=spdx should keep the original license
name if it matches a valid SPDX license identifier.
