Discussion on Appendix V: Using SPDX short identifiers in Source Files

• Alexios pointed out that there are several source files that have an SPDX identifier and continues with additional license text
  • This causes issues for tools that expect the SPDX identifier to be the sole expression of a license for that file
• Discussion on how to add/represent/resolve additional text
• Discussion on substantial modifications made to files which have additional licenses
• REUSE has recommendations that seem to resolve this issue
• Current text in Appendix V does not reflect these recommendations
• Alexios to create a PR as a proposal
• Steve will review the PR and comment
