Quick heads up where we are:
I had been following this discussion, and I vaguely remember that there was talk of it
having to be conditional, perhaps with a macro.
Has all that now been resolved? Can one simply convert to the new SPDX license identifier
for all active Fedora releases, i.e. F35 through Rawhide?

* people started voluntary migrating the identifiers to SPDX. When the license is not on
our list, you can open issue or even merge request here:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data
Richard and Jilayne are doing awesome work reviewing the license and they added huge
amount of licenses on list.
* We have list of allowed licenses
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/
and script which generate the page [1] but the result is not yet deployed to prod.
Neither automation is set yet.
We also have list of not allowed license with reasons of rejections
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/not-allowed-licenses/
* We have MR [2] which creates the data for rpmlint. Again, this is not merged and not
yet in Fedora.
* Richard and Jilayne are submitting licenses which are missing in
spdx.org list to
SPDX.
* Package fedora-license-data is included in Fedora. We are in process of setting
automation which will create new update when there are new data.

We still have lot of work on our plates due to voluntary migration. Once we clean all
these things and and workflow from voluntary migration gets lower we will start preparing
for phase 2 - it will include migration of the remaining packages. My guess is that we are
few months away from that.
If you want to migrate your package and you hit a problem, do not hesitate to jump to
legal mailing list and ask for a help
