No, my suggestion of using "License: SPDX:<foo>" would not require any
additional changes.  Anything that cares about the License field will
already need changes to recongize the SPDX values; this would just
remove any ambiguity.  And as very little parses the License field, so
there's not some big effort to update required in any case.

I just made this suggestion as a way to avoid anything unclear in the
License field, but it would also allow any future alternate license
strings to be clearly used.
