Thanks Tom for the suggestion and thanks Sam for catching the error.
I've added a check in the utility we use to create the license list pages. I found 5 additional licenses in the 2.0rc2 version of the license list: CPOL-1.02 PDDL-1.0 OSL-2.1 RPSL-1.0 SugarCRM-1.1.3 I have seen this type of problem occur on occasion due to character encoding issues. In SPDX we use UTF-8. If we use the wrong encoding for a text file anywhere along the process of converting a license proposal to a standard license on the web page, we can end up with this type of a problem. Just let me know if you see any more character encoding problems and I'll add the new "bad characters" to the check.

FYI, the presence of the � depends on the application that is reading the file, so is often missed. A check for � can be done with a windows find command for the character string ^u65533.

Hi, I would like to report that the EUPL-1.1 license (https://spdx.org/licenses/EUPL-1.1) contains bad character in the following text in bullet 5: For the sake of this clause, "Compatible Licence�" refers The bad character after the word 'Licence" does not appear in the original of this license (https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/system/files/EN/EUPL%20v.1.1%20-%20Licence.pdf) and therefore I think the bad character should be removed from the SPDX copy. -- Sam Ellis, DS-5 Engineering Manager, Product Engineering Group, Tel: +44 (0) 1223 400516 System Design Division, Fax: +44 (0) 1223 400887 ARM Ltd., 110 Fulbourn Road, skype:armsamellis Cambridge, CB1 9NJ mailto:[email protected] -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
