New version of fedora-license-data has been released. With 1 new license (plus bunch of public domain declarations). 20
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%5D=SPDX%3A%3Ablocked
Legal docs and especially
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
was updated too.
New projection when we will be finished is 2024-09-07. 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.
Tip of the day:
Do you know there is a standard to describe license of project that consist of different files with different
licenses? https://reuse.software/
Why Wichterle edition? On today's date at 1913, the inventor of soft contact lens was born. His story is full of
surprises: he used kids toy set to construct first Spin Casting Machine; Czech regime sold the patent to US company for
couple of bucks because they did not want to allow traveling of this scientist to US to defend the patent. And Otto
Wichterle spent most of his life as regular scientist without any glory because he signed petition against a regime.
