I was curious how many packages are already converted to SPDX.
I downloaded all spec files and count how many of them contains "spdx" string
(case insensitive). Assuming most
packagers mention it either in changelog or in comment near License field.
The string is in 347 out of 23155 spec files. That is less than 2% of packages.
It is wild guess with many incorrect of assumtions, but I guess the order of magnitude is
correct.
That is just FYI. I will not do anything to progress faster, because
`fedora-license-data` has enough issues (and mainly
flow of new issues).
I'm actually pleasantly surprised there could be as many as 347 spec
files already attempting to apply the current license metadata
standards after a couple of months. :)
