Right, but BSD is not in SPDX, it may be BSD-2-Clause
(or BSD-3-Clause....).  If I see BSD, I know it is a (legacy)
Fedora id, and if it is BSD-2-Clause it should be SPDX.

MIT is the case I am aware of where it is both a (legacy)
Fedora id, and a valid SPDX id, but can refer to different
underlying license terms.

I am not saying that one can convert from Fedora BSD
to SPDX BSD-n-clause without examination (work!), but
if it has been converted it is obvious from the id being
used (well, except for MIT, and ???? others?)
