To correctly fulfill the terms of some licenses you must know who the licensor is. Currently SPDX has no way to represent this in the situation where there are multiple licenses.

Proposal

Modify the spec such that<p>

• <p>Introduce a LicenseDeclaration entity type. Any number of instances of this type of entity would be allowing in an SPDX dataset.</p>
• <p>A LicenseDeclaration entity would have zero or more licensor properties whose values are Agents.
  </li>

• A LicenseDeclaration entity would have exactly one licensing property whose values is a AnyLicenseInfo.

• A LicenseDeclaration entity would have zero or more declarer properties whose values are Agents.

• The values licenseConcluded may be a LicenseDeclaration or a AnyLicenseInfo.

</ul>
