One slight comment on Unicode 3 (full disclosure: I helped draft it and have
submitted it to OSI for approval; it is still in the OSI discussion loop as

FWIW, maybe this is an opportunity for SPDX to lead?
Most of these look similar, but not the same. I’m guessing a lot of the similar
ones would have the same legal effect, although the more dissimilar ones, maybe
not (depending on where you are, and as we know some places don’t recognize PD).

At the risk of sounding like I’m hijacking this to re-raise my prior issue:
If AND is the operator to be used when having different inbound vs outbound,
then AND may not be commutative, since the order of listing the licenses may

the licensing info for a file
that is under MIT originally but then redistributed under BSD-2-Clause? Or are
