libpng changes over the years #2591

Open jlovejoy opened 3 weeks ago

jlovejoy commented 3 weeks ago

see https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/296

http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/src/libpng-LICENSE.txt is the URL for both libpng-2.0 and Libpng

the first part/license:

the second part/license:

BUT over the years, various things were updated such as the list of names and references to version numbers (which would be replaceable by SPDX matching guidelines, but need markup added) More substantial text changes occurred as well:

libpng-2.0 was added in Nov 2018, which also altered some of the text order, see https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng/commit/e79085a1724ccc5526dc752f6a696b3a94ef8cfa

question is for SPDX now: should these various changes over the years be handled with markup or constitute a new license?
