Hi!

Who is working on the LICENSE part of the ports framework ?

I've found this website:

https://spdx.org/

which describes SPDX as a

standard format for communicating the components, licenses and
copyrights associated with software packages

Do we need some mapping between our license and theirs ?
Some tools etc ?
