Hey Bradley, just sorting through emails and wanted to make sure we came to some consensus on this. If I understand correctly then, there really isn't a need for a short identifier for AGPLv2 because it doesn't exist as a individual license in the sense that it simply allows something under AGPLv1 to be licensed under AGPLv3 (which, as far as I can tell, AGPLv1 already did…), so if someone did find AGPLv2, it would really be AGPLv1 or AGPLv3 in terms of what actual license text applies…
For whatever it's worth, I have never seen the text on this page - http://www.affero.org/agpl2.html - or any other reference to AGPLv2 in the wild as far as I can remember, but others might want to weigh in on that. If the above is a (somewhat) correct characterization (albeit perhaps not elegantly stated due to fuzzy, post-holiday brain!) then it would seem that we are okay to do without a AGPLv2 on the SPDX License List. If anyone disagrees, please speak up :) Cheers, Jilayne Lovejoy SPDX Legal Team lead lovejoyl...@gmail.com On Oct 7, 2013, at 4:15 PM, Bradley M.
