This raises the issue of what "automatically compliant" means.
Nominally, "License: MIT" is both Callaway-compliant and
SPDX-compliant, but of course using "MIT" in the Callaway sense is not
what is expected in the SPDX/post-Callaway era. Even in those cases
where the Callaway identifier is not conceived as an 'umbrella' label,
I am not sure it is right to view, say, "License: Apache-2.0"
resulting from a superficial translation of "License: ASL 2.0" as
compliant with post-Callaway standards (or even strict application of
Callaway standards, come to think of it). I think Jilayne may see this
differently though. :)
