I agree with Peter - in the short term add a GPL-with-syscall-exception license because the fallout for just adding + to the LICENSE parser is greater than just mapping it to WITH in the SPDX code, there's all the license handling logic and missing test cases that need to extended too. We don't want to merge just the remapping without test cases to verify that nothing else breaks, at least. Of course if we extend the license logic further to support + properly, at that point we're basically reimplementing SPDX license semantics but with a new syntax so I'd personally be in favour of moving our LICENSE field to just being a SPDX license string (potentially with backward compatible parsing for a cycle or so). This means we can reuse existing code, and the semantics of the field is well defined. Ross
