What I really want to do is create a configuration file to define all the simple text licenses.
I don't have the code in front of me, but adding the tags is trivial, but we have to figure out which family category and name they belong to. SPDX is a camel's nose in that it can bring in many more licenses and license combinations. If there is agreement on BSD Family category and name I'm happy to add them, if not, it might have to wait until some sort of textual configuration is available.
