I can volunteer to do that (not immediately, but I believe I could do it 
in the upcoming weeks). Just a thought: to make the implementation more 
manageable, I could implement a mapping from SPDX to "license group" 
(basically the ones that are there now) so the script still deals with a 
smaller set of groups instead of all the possible individual license 
variations. Would you find that agreeable?

A question: since it's important to get the license right, why aren't we 
failing the builds for Portfiles with an unrecognized license?
