This should be pretty straight-forward to produce.

It would require an extra step during release, but I agree it would be
beneficial.

There are a couple alternatives to consider:
- Create a separate git repository that contains the output JSON, RDF and
template formats (all 3 output forms produced by the tools) tagged by
release
- Add a build directory to the existing spdx/license-list repo that would
contain all of the output files

The latter would be an easy change - I would just need to remove a git
exclude of the build directory.  It would also keep all of the license
artifacts together in the same repo which may make it easier to maintain.
The only thing I don't like about the build directory is it feels like we
are including compiled artifacts in a source repository.  Perhaps we should
rename the directory from build to something else?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
Gary
