Hi Jilayne, this "exception" defines in my Opinion the scope of the License as the copyright owner sees it. I would handle this "excpetion" in the similar way like the " Exception" of Linus Torvalds and of Uboot and of Jailhouse an all the others. Here the Exception of Linus Torvalds
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the linux kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. How are these "Exceptions" handled in SPDX?

I could almost see this being added as a new license altogether or and exception (to BSD-3-Clause). Anyone have strong feelings on whether it should be one or the other?

The exception text is: The license below extends only to copyright in the software and shall not be construed as granting a license to any other intellectual property including but not limited to intellectual property relating to a hardware implementation of the functionality of the software licensed hereunder. You may use the software subject to the license terms below provided that you ensure that this notice is replicated unmodified and in its entirety in all distributions of the software, modified or unmodified, in source code or in binary form. This is usually found prefixed in front of a BSD license. It is found extensively in the gem5 open source project, and here is an example of use:http://repo.gem5.org/gem5/file/021524c21cbc/src/cpu/exec_context.cc As for a possible names, how about "SW-only-exception" short form, and "Software-Only Exception" full form?
