Hot news:
Robert-Andre Mauchin packaged python-spdx-tools for Fedora. For scancode-toolkit - all dependencies are finally reviewed and present in Fedora, scancode-toolkit is in the middle of review. Big thanks to Robert and everybody who did the package reviews.
The process of adding the licenses on list is very slow recently as the lawyers does not have too much free time before the end of the year.
Now lets dive into numbers:
Two weeks ago we had:
23282 spec files in Fedora
29750license tags in all spec files
12512 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
5677tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
Progress: 57.94% ░░░░░█████ 100%
ELN subset:
437 out of 3013 packages are not converted yet (progress 85%)
Today we have:
* 23365 spec files in Fedora
* 29583license tags in all spec files
* 12255 tags have not been converted to SPDX yet
* 5577tags can be trivially converted using `license-fedora2spdx`
* Progress: 58.95% ░░░░░█████ 100%
ELN subset:
623 out of 3969 packages are not converted yet (progress 84%)

The list of packages needed to be converted is here:

List by package maintainers is here

List of packages from ELN subset that needs to be converted:

New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With 2 new licenses (plus bunch of public domain declarations). 19 licenses are waiting to be review by SPDX.org (and then to be added to fedora-license-data) https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/?label_name%5B%...
Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
New projection when we will be finished is 2024-09-19. Pure linear approximation.
If your package does not have neither git-log entry nor spec-changelog entry mentioning SPDX and you know your license tag matches SPDX formula, you can put your package on ignore list

Either pull-request or direct email to me is fine.
Very impractical tip of the day:

Why Kristallnachte edition? On today's date at 1938, was i Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) - a pogrom against Jews in Germany. It was first step where every other step was worse than the previous one. It was basicaly a first step that lead to holocaust.

Note that the term "Kristallnacht" (or "Reichskristallnacht") is itself a nazi propaganda term, and it is nowadays generally agreed in Austria and Germany that that term should not be used. Broken glass is just broken glass, not "crystal". And the term only (euphemistically) mentions the violence against things and neglects to mention the violence against people.

... and that is why Miro mentioned all of that explicitly (and
diligently), and even pointed to a source for more information.
Historical events do not vanish by renaming them - and no single word can describe the horror, be it "massacre" or "catastrophe" in the language of your choice. We need to educate ourselves (and then others) about events and names, and in fact that is what Miro's historical connotations can do, even when they give us shivers.

And that is why it is more correctly named Reichspogromnacht (for Pogrom see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogrom), because it is not just about shattered glass but all the violence against the ethnic/religious group.
And even more, Novemberpogrome, because it was not only one night. (term also mentioned in the English Kristallnacht Wikipedia article above). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novemberpogrome_1938

For the record, Americans use the term Kristallnacht, and American Jews do not find it offensive.
It is used as the symbolic start date of the holocaust, and there are often memorial services.
