Review FSF referenced licenses which do not have an associated SPDX license ID

[goneall]

This list should be reviewed ideally with FSF to see if they should match an SPDX license. We could also consider adding some of the licenses to the SPDX license list.

The following FSF license tags did not have any obvious match to an SPDX license:

• [ ] ACDL
• [ ] Arphic (spdx/license-list-XML#456)
• [ ] ATTPublicLicense
• [ ] CryptixGeneralLicense
• [ ] DOR
• [ ] dsl
• [ ] ecfonts
• [ ] GNUVerbatim
• [ ] GPL-PA
• [ ] GPLFonts- this may be an exception?
• [ ] GPLOther
• [ ] HESSLA
• [ ] informal
• [ ] Jahia
• [ ] josl
• [ ] ksh93
• [ ] Lha
• [ ] Ms-SS
• [ ] OculusRift
• [ ] OpenContentL
• [ ] OpenPublicationL
• [ ] PerlLicense - Not including due to the description on the FSF website does not seem to represent this license. RPL- References version 1.3 which is not in the SPDX license list. SPDX has versions 1.1 and 1.5
• [ ] Phorum
• [ ] PINE
• [ ] Plan9
• [ ] PPL
• [ ] PublicDomain
• [ ] Python - references later versions which are not in the SPDX license list
• [ ] Python1.6a2
• [ ] Python1.6b1
• [ ] Python2.1
• [ ] Ruby - Although SPDX does have a Ruby license, the text referenced by FSF is different from the SPDX license
• [ ] Scilab
• [ ] Scratch
• [ ] SISSL - header on the 'FSF website states version 1.0, but the link points to 'version 1.1. The SPDX license is version 1.1, #8
• [ ] SML
• [ ] Squeak
• [ ] SunCommunitySourceLicense
• [ ] SunSolarisSourceCode
• [ ] SystemC-3.0
• [ ] Truecrypt-3.0
• [ ] UtahPublicLicense
• [ ] WebM
• [ ] YaST
• [ ] Zope - FSF refers to version 1.0 of the license and the SPDX license list uses version 1.1

I've updated this list following this comment with the results of:

$ jq -r 'to_entries[] | select(.value.identifiers.spdx | not) | .key' licenses-full.json | sort -f

on 7822d52d8. If we pick out only the libre licenses, we have about half as many:

$ jq -r 'to_entries[] | select(.value.identifiers.spdx | not) | select(.value.tags | contains(["libre"])) | .key' licenses-full.json | sort -f

That “FSF Free/Libre?” column looks entirely blank at the moment.
