Hello,
Thank you Wayne and Philippe for giving an answer that quickly ☺. I agree with the statement. Maybe it (former suggestion by Wayne) would be mentioned in the "license and exceptions tracking page" not to be requested again (I've checked before sending the email, trying to make things the right way).

My recollection is that it was decided that SPDX would not add EDL-1.0 or any other licenses based on the BSD-3-Clause template because doing so would set a precedent drawing in literally hundreds of other licenses based on that template. For Eclipse projects that use EDL-1.0, we just use BSD-3-Clause as the SPDX code.
