Missing SPDX identifier data #62

Description

@goneall

The following SPDX identifiers are not in this repo/JSON file but are listed on the OSI website:

  • 0BSD
  • BSD-2-Clause-Patent
  • BSD-1-Clause
  • BSD-3-Clause-LBNL
  • CAL-1.0
  • EPL-2.0
  • EUPL-1.2
  • CECILL-2.1
  • OLDAP-2.8
  • PHP-3.01
  • MIT-0

The SPDX license ID on the website is incorrect for the following:

  • Licence Libre du Québec – Réciprocité forte (LiLiQ-R+) version 1.1 (LiliQ-R+) - should be (LiLiQ-Rplus-1.1)
  • Licence Libre du Québec – Réciprocité (LiLiQ-R) version 1.1 (LiliQ-R) - should be (LiLiQ-R-1.1)
  • Licence Libre du Québec – Permissive (LiLiQ-P) version 1.1 (LiliQ-P) - should be (LiLiQ-P-1.1)
  • Universal Permissive License (UPL) - should be (UPL-1.0)

The following licenses are listed by name on the OSI website but are missing the SPDX identifiers:

  • CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Permissive (CERN-OHL-P-2.0)
  • CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Weakly Reciprocal (CERN-OHL-S-2.0)
  • CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal (CERN-OHL-W-2.0)
  • Mulan Permissive Software License v2 (MulanPSL-2.0)
  • OSET Public License version 2.1 (OSET-PL-2.1)
  • Upstream Compatibility License v1.0 (UCL-1.0)
  • The Unlicense (Unlicense)
  • Unicode Data Files and Software License (Unicode-DFS-2016)

Although not an inconsistency between the website and this file, I would also like to add some additional SPDX identifiers to the GPL family of licenses. Per request from the Free Software Foundation a couple years ago, we added license identifiers with a suffix "-or-later" to the GPL and LGPL family of licenses. If would be nice if we added those identifiers to this JSON representation. It may also make sense to add them to the website.
