F39 Change: SPDX License Phase 2

[dustymabe]

For the proposed Fedora 39 changes we decided to discuss further the following change:

• SPDX License Phase 2
  • Second phase of transition from using Fedora's short names for licenses to SPDX identifiers in the License: field of Fedora package spec files. This phase addresses how to update the License: field for existing packages, including documenting more specific guidance on how to find licenses in a package.
  • Tracking bug: #2184184
  • NOTE: [travier] We need to ensure our packages are compliant

Offhand our list of packages are:

• ostree
• rpm-ostree
• ignition
• butane
• rust-afterburn
• rust-coreos-installer
• rust-ignition-config
• rust-openssh-keys
• rust-ssh-key-dir
• rust-zincati
• rust-bootupd
• console-login-helper-messages

According to the files linked from this devel list thread:

• ostree - still needs converting ⚠️
• rpm-ostree - still needs converting ⚠️
• ignition - can be trivially converted to Apache-2.0 ⚠️
• butane - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-afterburn - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-coreos-installer - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-ignition-config - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-openssh-keys - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-ssh-key-dir - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-zincati - isn't in the list ✔️
• rust-bootupd - isn't in the list ✔️
• console-login-helper-messages - still needs converting ⚠️

Maybe we can split this up:

• @jmarrero - mind taking ostree and rpm-ostree?
• @prestist - mind taking ignition?
• @dustymabe - I'll take console-login-helper-messages.

[jmarrero]

@dustymabe sure thing, will take ostree and rpm-ostree

[prestist]

@dustymabe, yeah I will take Ignition

[dustymabe]

@prestist - I'll trade you a review:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/console-login-helper-messages/pull-request/13

[dustymabe]

console-login-helper-messages-0.21.3-5.fc39 has the updated license.

[prestist]

Ignition 2.15.0-4 f39
Ignition 2.15.0-4 f38
Ignition 2.15.0-4 f37

Are updated with SPDX licensing.

[jmarrero]

ostree-2023.3-4.fc39
&
rpm-ostree-2023.4-5.fc39
have been updated with the SPDX license identifiers.

[dustymabe]

Nice - thanks!
