How do you describe the license of someone's copyrighted material who has
granted the KES additional permission using SPDX syntax without
"KES-Exception"?
Just a quick click-around tour of cregit (which you linked to earlier, Mike):
* Assuming cregit's accurate -- I found lots of code that I could lift
from there and label as "GPL-2.0-only WITH KES-Exception".
Adding some 15 minute shell scripting against Linux's Git tree showed:
* Many files that currently say: "SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0" at the
top, where both `git blame` and cregit report that most contributors
have actually licensed "WITH KES-Exception", not just GPL-2.0.
Does SPDX have a "threshold" of how much copyright must be licensed under a
specific exception before listing it? I've not heard of such a litmus test
before, but if one exists, please do share it.
