Change exception identifier to avoid confusion with SPDX spec #4

Closed silverhook closed 5 years ago

silverhook commented 6 years ago

REUSE specs 2.0 currently refers to the following tags:

While the license identifier tag was already changed in order not to clash with the SPDX spec’s own tags, the exception tag was not updated to match it. This can cause confusion.

I would suggest that we also change the license exception tag from SPDX-Exception-Identifier to Valid-Exception-Identifier.

For more info, see discussion on SPDX Legal mailing list.

Is this solved in REUSE 3.0?
