Comment (by dbevans):
I agree. The SPDX scheme seems to be more comprehensive than ours and
gaining popularity elsewhere. Perl now has added a standardized (but
optional) metadata element
{{{
"x_spdx_expression" : "Artistic-1.0-Perl OR GPL-1.0-or-later"
}}}
in addition to the existing
{{{
"license" : [
"perl_5"
]
}}}
We might add something similar to our Portfile syntax.
