Fine, but that's misleading in this context. Right now the tool flags
(and therefore bugs have been filed for) the identifiers as well.
Yes, and those should still happen. I'm saying that what
license-validate *does* and the code written for it will be useful
with SPDX identifiers or Fedora ones, because the meat of the tool
(the logical parsing and handling) would be the same.
I feel like I'm missing something, but rpminspect has been doing what
license-validate does for years now. It's ready for SPDX expressions.
Results show up for Fedora builds in Zuul. Or you can run it locally.
