I dislike this idea. Combining alternative liceses (where the user can chose any of them) by anyhting alse but an "OR" does not make sense. I cannot imagine how you woudl apply two licesnese (like, say, GPL and BSD) simultaneously. Also, in the interest of easy processing of the license tags, I wouls like to propse that multiple licenses in a list are separated by white space only - no "OR", no commas, nor any other artificial delimiters that will only make parsing the information more difficult.

It is completely impossible - don't waste my time. 2. It is possible, but it is not worth doing. 3. I said it was a good idea all along. _______________________________________________ Spdx-tech mailing list Spdx-tech@lists.spdx.org https://lists.spdx.org/mailman/listinfo/spdx-tech
