All: After some back and forth with Jilayne, we believe the best naming approach (for SPDX purposes) from the “BSD+Patent<https://opensource.org/licenses/BSDplusPatent>” license recently added to the OSI list to be:
Full name: BSD-2-Clause plus Patent License SPDX Identifier: BSD-2-Clause-Patent [Note there is something that Facebook is using that they have recently started calling “BSD+Patents<https://code.facebook.com/pages/850928938376556>” but this isn’t on the OSI list nor is it a fully intact license, but a BSD 3-clause with a separate additional patent grant found elsewhere; I’m not sure how SPDX might (or has) handled that although I think you treat additional grants appended to existing OSI licenses differently]. This approach is most consistent with naming conventions used by SPDX and OSI, and keeping in mind concerns about using special characters (“+”) in certain contexts in which mechanical/computerized review is used. Let me know if you have any questions on this. McCoy Smith Intel Corporation Law & Policy Group
