Shorter is indeed better because it is far easier for humans to read when it is more concise, especially so because
once the expression is flattened, the SPDX identifiers could be alphabetically orered as in this example above.
Do we want to have it easier for humans or for machines?
I think that we now target more machines (especially because of the "exchange" part from SPDX abbrev). If you want more
human friendly way you can feed the formula to some library and get abbreviated form. E.g., you can use `simplify()` from
https://github.com/nexB/license-expression#usage-examples
It is packaged in Fedora.
And I agree that once we migrate to SPDX we should always present to **users** the simplified formula. But in sources
(in spec) we should track the full formula.
