Whilst we certainly want to collaborate with SPDX, we've never said our LICENSE field should match what SPDX is doing. Your patch appears to unequivocally join them as a 1:1 mapping and I'm not sure this is something we've ever planned or agreed to. These fields do get written into the packages and used in a variety of places. Certainly if we are going to map them 1:1, this is something which would need discussion on the OE architecture list first. I'd be nervous about committing to do that, not knowing or having any influence over what SPDX may do next. Is the intent here to map us 1:1 with SPDX and are you advocating that?
