Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
licensecheck outputs BSD licenses as BSD-2-clause & BSD-3-clause,
but the SPDX short-names use title case with upper case C
as in BSD-2-Clause & BSD-3-Clause.
https://spdx.org/licenses/
While the detected license is still clear,
this causes case sensitive comparisons by license-reconcile &
licenserecon to fail.
Please use the official SPDX short-names for these licences.
It may be possible to fix this by changing the relevant strings in this
source file
https://sources.debian.org/src/libstring-license-perl/0.0.9-2/t/license.t/
Regards,
Peter

Thanks for the bugreport.
Licensecheck supports multiple naming schemes. The default naming
scheme predates the invention of SPDX; it aligns with Debian DEP-5 now
at https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/
and as a fallback aligns with SPDX for license shortnames not listed in
DEP-5.
If you want only SPDX naming, use option "--shortname-scheme=spdx".
If you want the Debian project to change its default naming, then please
raise a bug against debian-policy.
Closing as a non-bug.
- Jonas
