Thanks for pushing this forward.
I have but one comment:
+BSD 2-Clause License BSD-2-Clause Y
bsd-2-clause.txt https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause
I don;t really like picking up the original license text from a second source (SPDX here) - I'd rather refer to some "original" version published by the creator of the license.
Maybe we can find a better URI here?
I agree, original version only we already have the SPDX Identifier.
It's a difficult task with BSD licenses and I found no original source yet. Official information from Berkeley University: http://ipira.berkeley.edu/ ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
Other sources or information: http://www.linfo.org/bsdlicense.html http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/license.html
should I rebase without an URL for BSD-2-Clause as long as we have the license in text form anyway?
Except for that:
