IF we are going to do it, and do it by changing all java files (not
removing the existing text), then in step with Jena 6 would be good.
Opinions?

Greetings,
I saw a note from Andy awhile back about exploring SPDX tag usage in Rat.
I am currently working on Rat to make it much more configurable. Recent
changes include the ability to detect SPDX license statements and an
upcoming change that will check licenses found in archives (e.g. jars
in a
lib dir).
My question is, Is there something, some knob or lever or action, that
could be added to Rat, that would help process the Jena releases?
What I have been wondering is whether we should add the SPDX license type
SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
I don't know what common practice is currently across Apache projects.
A small sampling of projects doesn't show much take-up.
Maybe because touching nearly every file has an impact if looking back
through git history.
The thing to avoid is repeated churn, and especially removing some new
piece of information or feature when a few downstream might have started
using the information.
c.f. CycloneDX and or SPDX SBOM.
