I maintain a few packages packaging and implementing bits of SPDX, especially the license list and expression syntax, for the JavaScript npm package system. I'm seeing some changes in recent https://spdx.org/licenses/licenses.json and would like to make sure I understand them before updating packages or automation to update them.
Do I correctly understand that "+" now appears at the end of some listed license IDs *only *to express that some expressions using the "+" operator, like GPL-2.0+, are now deprecated in favor of "-or-later" IDs, like GPL-2.0-or-later? In other words, SPDX does *not* plan to add more licenses with identifiers ending in "+" going forward? I see that the "+" suffix remains valid in the simple-expression production rule of the expression syntax grammar. But I take it "GPL-2.0++" should *not* be considered a valid license expression. Many thanks for any helping hand. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
