I have no strong opinion how to process with the case of "MIT
and BSD and
Bitstream Vera and OFL". I think that converting it to " MIT and BSD and
Bitstream-Vera and OFL" is probably best option. I.e. the License tag will
become mixture of Callaway and SPDX. It will not make it valid SPDX formula
so it will still pop up as package to be fixed, but at least some work will
be done.
In other words, it will be a regression. Invalid by either system:
$ license-validate 'MIT AND BSD AND Bitstream-Vera and OFL'
Not a valid license string
Run with -v option to see more information.
$ license-validate --old 'MIT AND BSD AND Bitstream-Vera and OFL'
Not a valid license string
Run with -v option to see more information.
I wouldn't do it.
If you want to hint the packager, then open a pull request with the partial
conversion.
