RE: call today!
I’m glad to see the new expression syntax, including “+”, “with”, “and”, “or”, and “;”. Big improvement. However, I suggest NOT requiring that expressions be surrounded with parentheses when there is no ambiguity (e.g., a single list of “and” or “or” at the top level). All the examples http://wiki.spdx.org/view/FileNoticeExamples include parentheses even in cases like “(GPL-2.0+ WITH Bison-Exception)”, which is more annoying for humans to type. By all means support parens, just make them optional in such cases. Thanks. --- David A.
