Hi all, Sorry for joining the thread late, but a few thoughts below!

Also, for the Allowed page https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/ - we have separate tables for each type of allowed and the full table with columns for each type of allowed license. Do people like having both options? Just wondering if it would be easier to use if we went one way or the other (I'd lean to one table, personally!) > 5.

I also revised the advice on using SPDX-license-diff a bit here https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/license-review-process/#_how_to_determine_if_a_license_or_exception_is_on_the_spdx_license_list based on my own observations.

What do you mean by "has a straight answer"? Is this when license-fedora2spdx gives you a single SPDX expression based on the Fedora shortname already in the spec License: field and based on the current fedora-license-data repo? > > 11.
