Thanks Rose Good to see I am not the only one finding these issues. I note that the Python SPDX tool library assumes OPERATING-SYSTEM and I think this is preferable to having an _ and is consistent with CycloneDX.. Supporting both - and _ is not a good solution IMHO.
At the moment we have at least 2 inconsistencies between two SPDX products (online validator and Python SPDX tool library) which is not ideal.
