Package: debmake Version: 4.3.1-1 Severity: wishlist Hello,
more and more upstream projects (including a number of high-profile ones such as the Linux kernel) are moving to including SPDX license identifiers (https://spdx.org/ids) instead of the full license text (in case of BSD- and MIT-style licenses) respectively the short-form (L)GPL notice in their source files. These identifiers are intended to make the license a piece of code is distributed under easily machine-parsable while keeping them human-readable. Examples: --------- SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-2-Clause SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later Currently "debmake -cc" doesn't recognize the SPDX IDs and flags all files using them as ""License: __UNKNOWN__". It would be great if you could extend the patterns that "debmake -cc" matches on for recognizing the various licenses to include the corresponding SPDX license identifiers. A list of the identifiers and the corresponding full license text is available at https://spdx.org/licenses/.
